Default All the hoopla over incandecent bulbs...

Pushing everyone over to CFLs from incandecent bulbs is supposed to save a
lot of electricity, right?

Well, how much power does it take to cook a roast for a family of five in
your average electric oven? Bet we'd save a lot more money if we forced
everyone over to microwave/convection systems.


You would save a lot of greenhouse emissions by excluding
conventionally produced meat from your diet. Tremendous amounts of
land and energy is used to grow food for livestock. Conventional corn/
beans agriculture also erodes the soil and introduces harmful ag
chemicals into the ground water. Wild game and grass fed livestock
excluded of course.
