It's not an economic thing, although it totally sounds like one. It's based on the idea that the more power we have access to, the more advanced we are as a civilization therefore we will have a higher quality of life among other things. This is also about us as a whole species, and not about any individuals. All that being said, we still shouldn't waste power and we absolutely have to transition to better forms of power.

Aha. Hey, I really appreciate the friendly answer. I had wondered whether my reply above had come across as too adversarial.
I'm open to the fact that energy is allowing us to advance and evolve in ways I can't entirely understand.
I'll be more thoughtful about saying things like "use less energy." Better to think in terms of using energy wisely.
Take care!
