Is energy consumption only counted as sufficiently "efficient" when the government is employing coercive power to conserve (or at least tax) it?

Can anyone begin to doubt the true nature of the current administration?? Can anyone believe that Obama's hope was that no one was paying attention as he changed this country from what the founders believed into a meritocracy run by elites who couldn't govern their way out of a paper bag (or would that be plastic, no, wait cloth, though probably made in China since no manufacturer in the US will be able to afford the electricity it takes to make the bags).
