The best forms of energy use are functions of how energy is used. Intellectual energy is of the highest priority. A lethargic nation intellectually will create far more problems that were avoidable than it needed to. Those who forget the future are doomed to repeat it, may be a truism exemplified by the reliance upon fossils, nuclear and coal energy sources thoughtless of the environmental costs and social effects are dumb energy sources counterproductive to human and global health.

If scientific lexicons are ontologies for-themselves, political lexicons are another. Plainly the corporate world CEO's have many off-stage ideas about the U.S. polity inimnical to public energy and resource use that ought to be compensated for with adroit federal policy rather than regulation. Developing infrastructure for new energy uses that reduce user costs is a good strategy for reducing energy imports from foreign nations. Energy created for individual-citizen use prmarily is a better investment than the corporate power network enthralling users to global concentrated wealth. While low cost nationalsuper-conductor grids may be desirable home power production through several alternative energy means ought to be supported and prioritized federally and at state levels with tageted energy production goals as well as total energy conservation reduction objectives.

Energy use is a factor within an economic structure that might itself be regarded as a malleable ontology with potential radical efficiency increases. Ontological infrastructure synthetic advancement nationally should have paralell goals for increasing public happiness and increasing energy efficeincy through beneficial economic use. There are innumerable ontologgies of energy and economic use nationally and globally that could be managed in combination with more traditional goals oflowest unit production cost and highest sales price exploited by global corporations. As is well documented in the area of ecological economics production inefficiencies are one of the primary sources for boom and bust cyclic economies. Adverse ecology use also creates boom and bust economic cylical phenomena.

The best energy for the future should be such as serves the national needs for the particular existing economic and social ontology of the day. It should be recognized that political and economic ontologies become out of phase with ecological and environmental ontologies over the course of decades. Politicians prefer to remain in particular
