Reply #30: I am reluctant to give up the good life [View All]

Energy conservation is a worthy goal but unfortunately I have found it hard to implement on a personal level.

I would like to drive a smaller fuel efficient vehicle but I work out of my truck so I have to drive a truck.

I live in the south and the weather is hot so we need air conditioning. My wife would refuse to give up her clothes dryer, dish washer, and other appliances. We live in the suburbs and have no desire to move into a high density urban community.

It is difficult to muster the will and conviction to make changes on a personal level. Perhaps if other people did so then I may be more likely to follow. It seems that few of us are really interested in making major changes in our life style.
