Climate Risk To Electric Utilities Now Bad Enough That Even Berkshire Hathaway Is Talking About It

[Think. Again.]

1. One of these days, hopefully soon enough to control it ourselves...

...there will have to be a significant reduction in the amount of energy we generate and consume.

A large portion of the energy we produce is simply wasted-- well-lighted shopping malls overnight while closed, street and traffic lights on lonely roads where there are no cars or people, water heaters keeping tens of gallons of water hot in second homes that are vacant for months, office and industrial machines powered up but on idle 24 hours a day, etc., etc.

If we don't face up to that reduction in use ourselves, soon, we will be caught off guard when we just can not keep producing the massive and massively growing amounts of energy we burn anymore.
