Cutting waste without destroying econmics needs further clarification. Waste is a by product of somebodies product. When we reduce waste we also reduce the ammount of product or energy used and therefore somebodies econmics are harmed. This has happened since before Christ got attached to a tree.

Cutting waste energy by more efficient technology has never been more important than now, Global Warming is a direct product of waste.

Those somebodies most effected by cutting waste in energy provision are Oil and Coal.

Any switch to greater energy efficiency reducing waste will effect their economics.

Governments of all persuasion have economics reliant on the greatest amoumt of Oil and Coal being consumed being best for their revenue base.

Australian technology already can cut in half the energy requirements for base load electricity, and further reduce water consumption to zero thereby providing further cuts in waste.

The average joe blow's economics both domestic and industrial improves with having their electricity tariff halved.

Such an increase in disposable economics increases prosperity to more people than just those wasting the energy now at hand.

Government research ABARE September 2007 points out the effort currently taken by Government to supress new efficient energy to replace Oil and Coal.

In a free market country where the Government is interfering in the free energy market by use of subsidy and and grant to inefficient energy is a Government opposed to the best for the people in large to profit a small group in whole.

It is the peoples choice wether or not to continue to allow this to happen. Perhaps when enough homes are put to mortgagee auction and food prices increases to such a point we eat less we shall have our voices heard by Government.
