If conservation is the equivalent of more energy, then a ceramic
tile is irrelevent. I'm replacing all my super energy efficient light bulbs,
with 100 watt bulbs right now! In my opinion energy conservation
is not a bad thing, especially with threats of impeding blackouts,
plus it isn't like everyone can afford to run out and buy renewable
technologies for their homes. By conserving though argued a
personal virtue, I think it would be good for meantime consumerism
overall. It lower's energy bills, can lower co2 output at utility plants,
and put less stress on the energy system, overall. Conservation
is as scientific as it is in a moral balance. Any takers?
Have a good one,
