Engineering more efficient systems
Clipped to the Drawing Board by Susan Decker  
There is this sort of belief floating around that the increasing costs of energy are going to drive increases in efficiency, and so this is a good thing.

This is a belief that is held by economists, tree huggers, joe public, and in fact just about everyone who isn't an actual engineer.

All it takes is US$200 bbl oil and Ford will stop making Suburban SUV's and start making Volkswagen Rabbits... The ONLY reason Ford don't make a VW Rabbit now is no one would buy one... allegedly... no engineer believes this for a second.
