Force people to insulate their homes and they squander the fuel savings by building larger houses.
Our consumption of energy has been steadily growing, the costs are increasing, and in the process we are depleting vast amounts of fossil fuel reserves and building up dangerous levels of carbon gases and pollutants.
It wasn't Congress that profited from the robust economies that come from having cheap labor, or collected property taxes from illegal immigrants and the companies that hire them, or used cheap labor to fuel growth by building homes and streets and schools.
The edifice complex that drove the builders of the Empire State Building helped fuel the bubble that burst into the Great Depression, such that the building sat practically empty for years.

Incentive backed challenges attract "maverick thinkers who challenge normal assumptions" and make heroes of the teams who compete in these paradigm-changing efforts to solve significant social problems like building the ultimate fuel-efficient car or developing a lunar landing vehicle.
The last two run the gamut from mining ore to building reactors to making fuel rods.
More reliability would have come from water-proof substations, building-centric Bloom fuel-cell power and local micro-grids.

It's their reward for building these alternative-fuel vehicles, even though the vehicles themselves rarely actually burn alternative fuel.
As for gas prices, analyst Kevin Reilly says Detroit is beginning to adapt by building smaller, more fuel-efficient SUVs.
We need to do everything we can to ensure that they can keep taking those risks, acting on those dreams, and building the enterprises that fuel our economy and make us who we are.
WHITEHOUSE: Weekly Address: Working with Small Business to Drive Recovery | The White House
Consider what might have happened if American automakers in the 1960s had begun designing and building safer and more fuel-efficient cars just after Ralph Nader first published his seminal book, Unsafe at Any Speed.
But then they get together for their annual convention, and instead of debating how to apply their expertise to building mechanical accelerators and fuel enhancers, they double-down on doing a better job of promoting leather straps.
FORBES: CPAC, SXSW, and the Dangers of Preaching to the Faithful
The only cars getting these credits now are hydrogen fuel cell prototypes that carmakers spend millions building, then offer to governments, universities and, rarely, individuals.
Russia now wants new inspection rules in place before delivering nuclear fuel to the power plant it is building at Bushehr, on the Persian Gulf.
It said it would, however, continue building the light-weight fuel-efficient plane.
Indeed, a new push to improve vehicle crashworthiness could complicate efforts by auto makers to persuade consumers that the lighter, smaller cars they are building to address tougher government fuel-efficiency standards and motorists' concerns about fuel prices are also safe.
BizEE Software, a South Wales, U.K., company that develops software to help building managers assess their energy-fuel needs, publishes a measure called degree days for places around the world that highlights this variation in temperature.
Other creative opportunities being explored include natural gas pumps (hooked up to the home) to fuel natural gas vehicles, and light duty vehicles relying on fuel cells (which manufacturers hope to begin building by 2015).
They'll be jobs building the wind turbines and solar panels and fuel-efficient cars that will lower our dependence on foreign oil, and modernizing our costly health care system that will save us billions of dollars and countless lives.
KEDO, the organisation responsible for building two nuclear reactors and making interim deliveries of fuel oil in return for a freeze on the North's production of plutonium, from which nuclear bombs can be made.
In July she gave her party's support to prime minister Singh's much-anticipated reform initiative for the country, which will include building infrastructure, increasing energy potential and managing food, fuel and fertilizer in the crowded nation.
That's why my administration is taking steps to support a thriving clean energy industry across this country -- an industry that's making solar panels, and building wind turbines, producing cutting-edge batteries for fuel-efficient cars and trucks, and helping consumers get more control over their energy bills.
Heartening news rang forth from the renewable energy sector this week as a UN-backed study reported that the building of new renewable energy plants has officially overtaken fossil fuel plants in Europe and the US. We also took a look at two brand new types of power plants -- the world's first hydrogen-driven power plant in Italy and the first hybrid coal-solar power plant in Colorado.
ENGADGET: Inhabitat's Week in Green: of mirror cubes and urban icebergs
In his brilliant 1991 design for Frankfurt's Commerzbank, the tallest office building in Europe, he brought off the seemingly impossible feat of building a supertower that could use natural ventilation (as against fuel-gobbling air conditioning) during 60% of the year.
Critics beat up Detroit for building SUVs and pickups (which earn profits) and scrimping on fuel-sippers (which don't).
