Now that is a good point. But this is about greenwash, not saving
enegy.


Or even energy. B-)

I doubt 6kW (which is no doubt the maximum rated output) would be enough
to keep half the lights on in a Tesco. They'd save *far* *Far* more energy
by not having the so called 24hrs shopping. I say "so called" 'cause the
one time I did want to shop late at night I went to one of these 24hr
Tescos and it was shut...
