That's the part that really gets me. The US can afford higher energy costs. But when you tell the poor in Asia and Africa they can't have electricity because its too "dirty", you condemn them to a life of misery.

You assume that people in the United States agree with your analysis that we can afford higher energy costs. However, factual data, such as demand destruction, counters your thoughts. The people of the United States, whether they can or cannot physically afford it from their pockets, will NOT pay for that willingly - so there is no reason to assume that they can afford it.
