Consumers Are Lazy When It Comes To Saving Energy

I diidn’t say this, Chris Huhne did and it’s the lead story on the front page of The Times.

But it’s true!

1. The first thing I did with this house was to get rid of most of the high consumption bulbs.  For a start I had 17 of those awful halogen downlights, that make better short life room heaters, than lights.  The LEDs I used were a straight replacement.
2. I searched for electricity and gas companies that gave me a good deal.
3. But my biggest saving was selling my car and using public transport.  That is not for everyone, but surely many families could make do with one less vehicle.

It’s not difficult, but people always find an excuse not to save money. And then moan about it.
