supermarkets and DIYs will stop selling normal bulbs, but you will always have places like Pound strecher that will continue doing so unless it does become illegal.
Selfish few? Tell me how much equipment in audio, video and computers have you got? think about how much power that lot uses.
I have a 42 inch Plasma that take over 300watts of power when on, a DVD recorder, a TUTV box, a Wii, a PS3, a 5.1 surround amp ( cheap tacky thing, but it will do for a while). then there is my hi-fi. All of these are on standby 24 hours a day. then my computer upstairs is on more than it is off. My laptop is never off. then you got the small things like chargers for dect phones, I got 4 of them and then the router.
That is only in my house and yes I do have more electronics than some people.
My neighbour have three Sky boxes, no doubt three T.vs in standby, and a few DVd players, plus a LCd T.V which takes a fair bit of power when it is on.
I bet I could go down the road and ask every single person if they leave their gadgets on in standby and I bet 99% of the people do and there are a lot of people on my side of the road that have Sky, and no doubt on the other side, but their dish would be around the back of the house.
so I don't think that me or a few other people not using low energy bulbs is going to make a lot of difference.
Still got nothing to do with the government and they are hypocrites when they waste more energy than I do.
I use normal bulbs, because I don't like Low energy ones, I am not being forced into using low energy, and I don't care what this government or some greenies that want us to live in caves say. |
