Re:    You led us into this mess, now you want to lead us out; but all you really want to do is "lead"
Date:  Saturday 29 July 06

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
I find leaders like this (Power to the people to conserve energy), telling us how we should deal with our energy problems, very annoying, because ALL newspapers (not least, the Telegraph), despite the warnings about Earth's limited resources and finite carrying capacity (most famously in "The Limits to Growth" published in 1972!), have spent the past 30 odd years not just ignoring, but rubbishing them, while defending and promoting an utterly unsustainable economy and way of life, along with the unsustainable values, attitudes and grossly materialistic aspirations (rooted in man's primitive animal nature) that underlie them.
 
Having helped lead us this far into the quagmire, dear Editors, are you absolutely sure you are the right people to be offering advice on the way out?
