Perhaps...

There is no energy policy coalition in the environmental community because humans do not want to hear what they need to give up in order to bring energy policy in line with a healthy environment.  A healthy planet is about responsibility, not about the rights and entitlements so dear to the hearts of progressives.   Earth may be saved by giving up, by not doing, by not buying.  No other solution has a chance.

Start with a group of humans who tell themselves they are committed to saving Earth.  Tell them they have to give up...

Breeding
Cars
Large houses
Land "development"
Processed food
Heating oil
Land "development"
Vacuum cleaners
Household cleaners
Retirement

Still there?

Economic "growth"
Pets
Bottled water
Airlines
Dry cleaning
Cosmetics
Nascar
School busses
Teflon
HMO's

And now?

3000 mile food
Lawns

Cosmetic surgery
UPS

Anyone left?  That's what I thought.
