4. I was tired of people who shove energy efficiency in everyone's faces without considering that most people are perfectly fine with consuming extra energy so long as it improves their quality of life (including, but not limited to, displaying pretty pictures).

I live completely off grid and it is surprising just how little electricity one really needs. Annually I average about 5.5KW a day and my quality of life is just fine. Don't get me wrong I agree with you.

This of course assumes they can get in the door to see the necessary people and convince them it actually works.

This is an extremely valid point. Many years ago I worked out and mocked up a working model of a device capable of containing oceanic oil spills. It is easy, relatively cheap and all of the recovered oil can be easily sold as it is in no way tainted by its experiences. I couldn't find a single person anywhere who was prepared to listen.
