Here's my take:
I have no interest in cutting down on my energy usage in a truly significant way. I like my standard of living. I work hard for it. I pay for my energy.
I think probably 98% of the North American population feels the same way. What I want to see is time/effort/money/research and RESULTS put into improving the ecological footprint associated with energy production.
Reducing energy consumption doesn't fix the problem - energy production is not going away and its not going to stop growing as more of the world industrializes and population continues to grow, so find ways to grow production responsibly.
To that end, I support this effort by participating in Enmax's Greenmax program - I pay more for power generated by wind. I want my power, and I'm doing what I can to obtain the greenest power available to me.
