"Energy efficiency is no longer just a moral luxury or a personal virtue," he told a crowd gathered at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History in California on Tuesday morning, echoing language from his June 17 energy speech. "A smarter use of energy is part of a critical national effort to regain control of our own energy future."
It makes you wonder what ne'er-do-wells have been running around the country decrying energy efficiency as simply a matter of "personal virtue."
Oh, yes. That's right. Thanks, Google!
The fact is, conservation never was a matter of "personal virtue."

Well...so bad that even the Republican candidate for President can no longer deny the gravity of the problem.
