Energy and wealth are basically the same thing. The economy is a thermodynamic system. We not only need clean energy. We need 10X the amount of energy we have now. The far left focus on efficiency and energy austerity is literally insane.

Was referring to efficiency

There is a tendency for things to become more efficient over time through pure economic forces, though. Although, there has been evidence where regulation has certainly accelerated it. Examples I guess being fuel efficiency in cars, and bans on incandescent lighting.

Agreed, I think having a discussion on both fronts is actually helpful, as long as they do not slow down progress.
