"A low-energy policy allows for a wide choice……" — Ivan Illich

"A low-energy policy allows for a wide choice of life-styles and cultures. If, on the other hand, a society opts for high energy consumption, its social relations must be dictated by technocracy and will be equally degrading whether labeled capitalist or socialist."

— Ivan Illich
