The energy efficiency initiatives of the 1970s significantly reduced the energy cost of economic activity. (Ironically, this helped kill nuclear, by undercutting the expected increase in demand that utilities built all those nuclear power plants to meet.)

The ongoing clean energy transition could bring us cheaper energy and divorce grid energy usage from greenhouse gas emissions.

I feel like the future is looking bright.
