The real trick is that as resources become more scarce, and pollution becomes more of a problem (so limiting emissions becomes more expensive) each KW will cost more. All resources will be doing this not just electricity. We will learn to limit consumption without the help of an edict from on high. Economics will (already is) get folks to limit their consumption and do it willingly.

Govt is already up yer bedroom- they (meaning, everybody else) pay people to have kids, remember? So are ya with me on the removal of dependent tax deductions and school funding based on how many kids you put in the school?
Agreed, economics is pretty much the ONLY way there is to effect behavioral change. So the subsidies for cheap energy should be stopped if we hope to curb the reckless rise in energy consumption.
