True or false?
What's the point in saving money if the authorities can anyway print this saving out to oblivion. Saving energy does a more important thing - it saves energy.Repent wrote:Saving energy saves you money.

In the short term yes. But for every litre you don't use, that puts a slight downward pressure on price, meaning less may be extracted and there may be less new holes drilled in the short to medium term. That means in the long run - some might stay in the ground, or maybe not, but it can delay the effects of AGW and the steepness of the down curve.
