Do you think the government truly had the environment and climate in mind?

Posted in Green Q&A | 9 comments

The "Cash for Clunkers" program ended this week but reportedly consumers bought almost 700,000 new vehicles. DO you think this program truly replaced gas-guzzlers with vehicles that are that much more petroleum saving?

Why do electric companies promote energy conservation?

Posted in Green Q&A | 6 comments

My electric company runs advertisements promoting energy conservation, as well as ubiquitous inserts on energy saving in every monthly bill. For example, they urge consumers to use compact fluorescent light bulbs, turn down the thermostat, etc.

This is NOT an energy co-op, it’s a for-profit corporation. And my former electric company in a different state behaved similarly, so I know it’s not an isolated case.

Why do they do this? Isn’t it against their own self-interest… like a grocery store urging people to eat less?

Thanks!
