Lights left on

[Annahavil]

We hear constantly now, and rightly so to turn off all lights as much as possible on radio, TV and the press.  Some of us do, I myself do it as much as possible and my electric bill is always low.  Problem is all over Britain here, first the Council leave lights in city's and town's on sometimes.  Maybe for hours on end by mistake.  It is not good enough and I hope as the puplic report it that it is switched off.  Then when we take shops and businesses's they too sometimes even have too many lights in the building to put on.  Some rooms seem to have just to many lights.  I have noticed over the years at Church sometimes even on sunny days with the strong light from the sun, lights were on.  Incredible ise'nt it.  What I say is the old proverb, waste not want not.

In areas where the weather is cold it doesn't much make a difference if you leave lights on or turn them off. Current lighting generates heat. If lights are turned off the heating system kicks in just that much more to make up the difference. I agree it is easier on the pocketbook to turn them off when they are not needed such as in warmer weather it reduces the need for air conditioning. In large buildings there is often more lights than are needed to properly light the spaces. If at all possible it is better to cut down the candle light hours per space especially in warm weather.

Want to save on the Cities/countries electric bill?
Instigate martial law and everyone is in bed by 9pm.  Lights out across the city with the exception of emergency services.

With the actions of the environmentalists today that is not far from being reality.
