The other is comprised of those who have personal, rational self-interest at heart: fuel is now so expensive that it behooves me to conserve it, because the higher the price goes or remains, despite our government having redefined inflation, (i.e. having removed food and fuel costs from the inflation index for more than a decade), the more I'm getting screwed, daily.
Then there are the engineering nerds, who simply enjoy considering problems and proposing theoretical solutions, mostly for the academic exercise of it.
This list has something for everyone, eh?
