There was a limo-lib on a TV talk show a couple of weeks ago (can't remember her name) encouraging everybody to replace there existing incandescent lightbulbs with those screw-in fluorescent ones. She said that if everybody replaced just 5 bulbs, the energy savings would be the equivalent of taking 3 million cars off the road per day.
So I'm thinking, hmmmmmmmm, that might be true.......
But then she kept talking. She said that there were a number of other things that we could do in our homes to reduce energy consumption such as unplugging the toaster, blow-dryer and other appliances when not in use.
Now I'm thinking, what a moron but knowing that there was a million other morons listening to her and jumping up to go unplug their toasters then patting themselves on the back for conserving energy.
And of course, the television interview babe was eating this stuff up.
