    "Last year, I returned from my honeymoon convinced that the energy efficiency ethic born in California 30 years ago had taken hold in Croatia and Slovenia. In fact, as I wrote about here (Power Plug, 11/21/06), I found CFLs to be as widely used in the countries as they are in California, and, in the case of key card energy-management systems, hotels had adopted technology still rarely deployed in the U.S."

    That seems a bit presumptuous. The Euros have been using considerably less energy for decades.
