John Derbyshire on Election 2008 on National Review Online:

AFP: Obama camp spies endgame in Oregon: "'We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,' Obama said."

Not so sure about the last part, but Obama is correct about the first two points. My fear is governement sanctions to get people to conserve. I have no doubt that "burdensome" will be understating what will be jackbooting of personal liberty.
