Ivan Seeking said:Many areas now cycle the street lights off for periods of time so that out of any four lights, for example, at any time, one of them is off.
One thing that annoys me is the energy wasted by refrigerators. In the summer, we run the fridge which then blows hot air that has to be cooled again by the air conditioner. In the winter, we heat house, which in turn puts a greater load on the fridge. The condenser coil should be cooled using air from under or outside of the house, and exhuasted out again. I had the chance to implement this idea in new modular [steel] homes, but the company making them just went bankrupt.
Now that's a valid thing to argue. Or the heat the fridge produces can help warm the water... who knows. I'm no engineer.
