While updating the website, I noticed in some places we had “abundant” already. Probably from a previous discussion.

Yes, “abundant” is the better word.

Also, I noticed we had “affordable” rather than “cheap” – because we didn’t want to be seen as cheap. There was a discussion about that at some point as well.

Aside from that, our mission statement doesn’t [em]exclude[/em] conservation. Obviously, until we get it working, we can’t stop conserving, and even after it’s working, I think a big motivation for conservation comes down to not wanting to bother with excess stuff and building. We’d still like energy efficient buildings because it does away with the loud hum of cooling and heating machines (AC units and fans annoy me).

Even after it’s working, we shouldn’t stop conserving. But it sure would be nice to guarantee each and every person on the planet a kilowatt.. as a fundamental right.
