| 139927 | 2003-05-03 08:40:00 | Well a lot of different opinions here, all which in there own way are right. However I don't think Nuclear will be required, the reason been is that our population is suppose to max out at 4.8Mill. So really all we need is another good sized hydro dam and we'll be right, sure there will be dry winters but we'll live. |

| 139928 | 2003-05-03 08:46:00 | I thought I'd do my bit by getting a hot water cylinder wrap . Now I'll have to go and buy a heater to keep the airing cupboard warm :D |

Comments like the hotwater cylinder will be turned off for days at time even! Now if they were to do this, that would result in everyone turning on there kettles constantly for the whole day. Another words there would be no net savings made. Honestly there are some really mentally challenged people in top positions these days. |

I don't agree Sure people would boil the jug to heat the water for the dishes, but if they were to boil the jug to wash themselves, i think it would be a sponge bath, and that uses LOTS less energy. Been there done that. I lived without electricity or hot water on the West Coast. Quick washes were sponge baths using water heated on the gas cooker. Baths were heated with a fire underneath. Now that i live with the luxury of hot water on tap i waste heaps. .Clueless |

| 139931 | 2003-05-03 11:20:00 | OK I first saw this posting the other day and I was not sure weather to be the first replier, But after thinking about my great power saving idea, I just have to let the cat out of the bag (if I had one) What I have done to save power is to cut out a picture from the local newspaper and sellotape it across the television screen with anti-static sellotape. then leave the radio going 24 hours a day. Now I can not tell the difference between what I see now and what used to be on TV a few weeks ago when I first put the picture across the TV screen. It looks just like the TV I used to watch a few months ago or last year for that matter. |
