How is the working class ever going to be satisfied if you Luddites keep trying to force austerity programs on everyone for the sake of a fucking snail darter? Consumption is prosperity and happiness comrade and everyone needs to wake up to that reality.

Please don't perpetuate the stereotype of the Luddites!
We can have snail darters and air-conditioning without putting on eco-thermodynamic hairshirts, but to do that we have to overcome an immense knowledge shortage and change the social relations of production, amongst other 'things'.
