Post blogger Michael Conniff is becoming one of those nerdy guys who bother fellow citizens with his concerns about voracious energy consumption. “In a land of plenty,” he blogs, “the worst thing you can become is that guy—that nerdy guy who runs around turning off lights and (worse) telling everyone he knows to turn off the damn lights or the air conditioner or the sauna or whatever….. Literally every time we go to the pump we are directly funding terrorists who are funded by oilish Islamic states who usually wish to carve us up or otherwise do us harm. Every time we burn energy needlessly we are putting money in the pockets of petrogarchies like Venezuela, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.”
