I appreciated his style, but was a little lost on the argument.
As an example, Seat belts save lives, seat belts lower the cost of healthcare and insurance, therefore, should we not legislate that people have to wear them?
We have, in my home, all our fixtures fitted with the new light bulbs, yes, they were a little more expensive to purchase than the old incandescent bulbs, but they use less power, and last longer. In fact, since we made the change I don't believe I have had to change one. Is this not better for all of us?
We also have low volume toilets here, never had a problem with them at all. There was no extra costs associated with installing them and they save me significant money each year with saved water.
All of our appliances are energystar certified, again, I save money and it's good for the enviroment.
What exactly is the issue?
