Dr. no,
Just because you can point to conspicuous consumption, here and there, does not mean that is the 'norm'. (Well I suppose you do live in LA-la-land)
Anyway . .. Most good consumers look to optimize their power (buying power, BTU's...). Most are not interested in wasting resorces, because they feel it in diminished dollars.
Of course some also induce (liberal) guilt for existing on others . . as a perverted way to absolve themselves of wasteful ways. .. guilt that would make a Catholic blush.
