- This is not at all what it was about. It did not use any renewables
- or "soft energy" sources
- nor did it force any conservation - in fact conservation was not
- mentioned. Remember that conservation and efficiency are different.
- No social changes were suggested, let alone forced. _All_ it
- recommended was capital investment in efficiency. The "old
- nuclear numbers" tnat it used appear to be the same as most
- nuclear proponents are using today.
