Not that I want to make it sound too commerical, but one of the ads linked to your blog is very intersting. If you haven't, look at www.123aeb.com....a very intersting site about sustainable design and homes. They have a discussion about changing out light bulbs to save energy. I think the power companies should be made to spend $0.01 for every $1 they want to spend on coal fired power plants on subsidizing the cost of upgrading home lighting...the payback might be better than the efficiency improvements they will see in retiring old plants. The only question in my mind is whether replacing a 100 watt light with a 32 watt cf light gives you the same amount of actual light. Interesting posts - they always say the next generation will learn so much more than the previous...I would say the scale has already tipped in your direction. Of course, I had my old man by the time I was 18...or at least I thought so. ;-) Take care and I look forward to your entries. Dad PS: If you can find info on careers in sustainable design - it might make a good article. The solution to the problem will come from within the industry....with a little gentle nudging from you blog writers. Tim,
