Ted, you are preaching to the choir.

Change in embedded systems will occur only when price pain reaches critical 
mass. There is no political gain to be realized by asking taxpayers to plan 
for the future by making sensible plans and implementing them. A 
sustainable energy plan would upset current lifestyles.
