Bullshit. It's the divisive politics. Anything your political opponent says sounds wrong or whiny. Tone policing, which is what you're doing here, is just another excuse to blame your opponent instead of looking into the issues on your side.

You missed my point completely.
WHY is it political? It's because instead of dealing with this as an engineering problem we turned it into a human behavior issue.
It's not about the tone of the message - there should be no anti-human message at all.
The tone is irrelevant, just stop telling people to use less energy. Instead meet their need with better energy.

You could see it the other way around too. Everything can be turned into an engineering problem, but sometimes that's very inefficient: for instance, instead of using trash cans for garbage disposal we could all just litter the streets (and why not, any other environment) and have robots cleaning everything everywhere 24/7...
