    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?

    ...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.
