I'm pretty centrist politically. If there is one political position I cannot stand, it's deceleration. It's people who believe we should use less energy.

That energy usage is a moral bad. No. No. You are diminishing humanity. [Instead we should ask] How do we make more of it? How do we make it clean? How do I pay 20 cent for a megawatt hour instead of a kilowatt hour?
