Enviro-libertarians

Consistent with his environmentalist tendencies, Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds goes gaga over leftist environmentalist Amory Lovins:

I agree [with Lovins] -- that it doesn't matter whether you believe "peak oil" catastrophe scenarios because you ought to be doing the same thing anyway. Likewise the global warming debate, which I also agree with. "The debate about energy conservation is about costs, but it's not about costs -- everybody who saves energy makes money on it."

This is completely false. It makes no economic sense to incur huge costs to obtain a minimal reduction in energy consumption.
