A Diffident Approach
•Recommended by some
–Still more improvement in energy efficiency
–Conserve
•This approach not a solution
–Improving efficiency increases applications
–Counters conservation
–Emissions increase

Some diffidently propose that we start by improving energy efficiency and conserving it to avoid climate catastrophe.

Experience tells us this approach will not  work. We’ve improved efficiency dramatically since our use of fossil fuel  began in earnest some 200 years ago. Conservation is countered as new applications for energy are found and emissions have escalated.
