Conservation can mean "doing without", but can also mean doing less, or using more efficiently. Since humans, and especially Americans, don't like the concept of self-denial, I have found it much more effective to point out that my family haven't sacrificed ANYTHING to cut our energy consumption to half the TX average for the last 30 years. I think this is one area where idealism means no progress at all. No, government can't do it all, but government CAN act on our behalf, if only to quit aiding the enemies of our future. Regardless of whatever we are doing personally, we have the opportunity and the obligation to insist that government act more in our collective best interests.
