Is a lower price, based on the ideology of an open market, really worth dieing for?

Moore's Third Law. The more complex chips get, the worse they get for the environment.

What's amazing is how quickly the economic benefits from this can flow. Look how quickly oil prices fell from $70/barrel to $50/barrel, just from our driving a little less and switching from things like Previas to Scions. How'd you like to cut that to $30/barrel? Or $10/barrel? Or $1/barrel?
