2) I set a goal of a 25% reduction in energy use for the Efficiency and
Conservation groups (combined). Year after year these groups FAIL to
achieve this goal once they work the numbers.
I have the impression that Western Europe (with a population and standard
living approximately equal to the US) is using a lot less of the world'sassumed
petroleum than the US. Here in Europe we have huge gasoline taxes. I
this (presumed) lower level of usage is due to our greater efficiencies.In
which ways am I wrong?
For what it's worth [< < 0.002¢], the zero health effects of Three Mile
Island made me very PRO nuclear. The (to my mind) surprisingly low health
effects of Chernobyl made me very, very PRO nuclear. [Based on the then
common thinking I initially expected at least tens of thousands to die
within days.]
