A whole bunch of years back...
Jimmy Carter spoke to the nation and suggested that we, just maybe, needed to rethink how we did things in terms of energy use. Drive a little slower, turn the thermostat down a kiss and wear a sweater when you got a little chilly.
A pivotal moment in history...
History is full of such moments and it's no surprise with hindsight being 20/20 that we don't always get them right.
Over the next couple of years a lot of us on boats are going to be doing a lot of thinking in hindsight about being on the wrong side of the need/want conundrum. Fact is, we're kind of lucky as we actually have a window of opportunity to adjust and evolve our choices to better be in sync with the world and what's coming...
... and, yeah, we should have opted for the sweater.
Listening to a great philosopher
So it goes...
