1. People blithely live energy-intensive lives with no thought to the consequences of those decisions

beyond cost (I'm not excluding myself here, I'm as guilty as anyone else). So it seems like we need to impose much larger costs on energy usage. Like perhaps the true cost, by including as many externalities as can be accounted for and compensating those who suffer the costs of those externalities.

I mean, that isn't gonna happen, but I don't see how to wake people up any other way.
