Re: Houston we have problem
You're not getting yelled at. The appeal is made to the public, because public is directly in control of their power usage. There are no CEO, no management to consult with. You are in control of your switch. Your contribution however small *will* make a difference. Gotta start somewhere.Originally Posted by Greyblades

You're still entitled to burn as much energy as you like, whether you need it or not. The question is, why do it if you don't need it?

Re: Houston we have problem
...What's that got to do with them? I'm not complaining that I should save energy, I've got two sets of blooming solar panels on my roof for that, I'm complaining why buisnesses seem to get a free pass to go unprotested as far as I see.
