  5.  @XEinstein  - you are mixing science with politics here. Correctly conducted science should stand on its own feet, regardless of political views. "Energy is scarse and so it makes sense to treat it as such and not over consume on energy" - this is a political statement, and may or may not have any scientific support behind it.
