Instead of focussing on conservation and resource-usage efficiency, they think in terms of expanding the resource supply. It's the same sort of thinking that applies when someone's response to a cash shortage is to take a loan, rather than to economize with the cash that they have. We're going to have to fundamentally change this way of thinking, both in the short and in the long term, or we will find ourselves in deep trouble -- and the day when that happens is closer than people think. In some ways, it's already here. I would say that this is typical of the response of authorities to shortages.
