i can't do the LED bulbs as i use 3 ways (250-100-50) in all my lamps. i like a lot of bright light. however, i only turn them on when i'm in that particular room and always turn off lights when i leave a room. i only turn off one of my 4 computers overnight though.
There's no shortage of energy here where I live. It's all hydro-powered. I buy fluorescents because they they last longer and save on the hydro bills. Feel kinda bad wondering what all that mercury will do to the environment, though. I get LED flashlights because the batteries last longer. What's curious is getting a flyer in the mail that comes with the hydro bill saying we should use less hydro. So I'm thinking, wouldn't they want us to use more? So they get more money? Then within a year after getting the flyer, we're getting charged extra for using TOO MUCH hydro. They substantiate with some sort of a 'green tax' or some ridiculous mind ****. They're charging us for using more of something there's absolutely no shortage of here. What makes it more maddening is that most people don't even question it. They lap it up like it's a good thing. Because the TV tells them it is. And I get accosted by a pseudo-hippy at the grocery store handing out free tickets to a rally for 'climate change' wearing a snorkle to protest how the ocean's gonna rise twenty feet soon. The whole world's gone nuts.
It's a two tier thing. We get charged so much for the first so many kW and a higher rate after that. Almost double or something. Of course anyone with a big house or more people in it gets dinged for this more.
he'll be a belltower sniper whithin the year if cap and trade doesnt pass because of climate gate

One day Austin Energy is congratulating us on saving so much energy that a new 500M generating plant is not needed, and the next day they say that we can expect a rate increase due to loss of revenue. So we get hosed whatever we do.
Tell me..... He has IED (intermittent explosive disorder) which is a mental illness not limited to EnviroNutters. Don't ya' love the way he brought in light bulbs acting as baby ovens? Very timely. He needs to be beaten with a stick.

Either that or (Choose 1): 1. Caned by a Singaporean Martial Artist. 2. Placed in Stocks in the Public Square. 3. Flogged by Captain Bligh. 4. Buried up to his neck in the middle of an Ant Hill with honey smeared on his head and face. 5. Forced to watch a Woody Allen Marathon without a bottle of Bourbon.

And if y'all did use less, as a community, they'd charge you more as a maintenance upkeep charge on the system. I've seen other utilities pull that crap. Either way, you lose. Yay government established monopolies!
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
There are provisions in the Constitution against cruel and unusual punishment, you know.

So we get hosed whatever we do. I should have read down before I made my last reply. What you state is exactly what they do in many places. It's an utter and complete scam. I'm highly encouraged by the progress of LED's and high energy efficiency appliances. At the rate it's going it's becoming almost feasible to go off grid without having to live like a granola munching smelly hippy. Then they can shove those bills up their fat monopoly asses.

So are you telling me that you like 3 ways? Because, you know, I'm good with that! ;)

Exactly. Then there's Enron whose court documents were conveniently lost in building 7.
I'm currently using CFL's in everything except my magnifying desk lamp (it won't fit). Over time I'll replace those that burn out with LED's - and I already have several LED emergency lights - that will run for 1000 hours on 3 AAA batteries. I'm not doing it because of Ed Baglady Jr. though. I'm doing it because it saves me money. You might check out C. Crane Company and see if they have something that would work in your 3 ways. They have the biggest selection of white LEDs that I am aware of - including strip lighting. I have a CFL in my 3 way Torchiere here in my palatial singlewide. ;-)

I'm in one of the only parts of Texas which decided to opt out of Governor George W. Bush's electricity "deregulation" schemes of the late 1990s, which were cooked up in cooperation and consultation with some of his closest political allies — the late, great swindlers who operated Enron. Since then, other areas of Texas, in spite of the new "competition" supposedly introduced into the electricity-generation business, have experienced rising electric rates while our regulated industry up here still has the lowest rates in the state. I point this out just to illustrate that doctrinaire "free market" economic policy doesn't always work as advertised. What you can also count, though, on is the fact that the doctrinaire "free marketeers" will always point out that you didn't follow EXACTLY what they would have prescribed to do and so will disregard the rest of your arguments. I note from this that Austin also is still regulated. “I would give no thought of what the world might say of me, if I could only transmit to posterity the reputation of an honest man.” - Sam Houston
Granting monopoly territorial rights via government isn't free market. Not even pretending wise. And "deregulation" and "privatization" generally are neither, in any sense. Modern companies (the big ones anyway) fear a free market as much as the government does. There will be no free markets for us short of the black and grey markets.

only in lightbulbs ;)
That is because they were not truly deregulated. Which with our current antiquated system of poles and wires is not really feasible. All that was deregulated was generation - not distribution. True deregulation would allow for technology supporting independent generation at the user level from a variety of technologies and companies. This is prevented by regulation and suppression of technology. None of the big players really want deregulation. They want to create the PR impression of deregulation without any real risk of being put out of business by new and better technology. Why do you think Pons and Fleischman had to flee to Europe to continue their research on Cold Fusion? They were receiving Death Threats here. Our Electical System is sooooooooo controlled. And The Austin Electric Utility Department DOES NOT generate their own electricity, they buy it on the open market at the cheapest competitive rate, AND they receive HUGE tax breaks by virtue of being a "Publicly Owned Utility". As well they get a huge price break in buying from Feral Government facilities such as TVA and Bonneville.

This scam must be exposed. Will Al Gore and his cronies be moving to Paraguay soon?
No, and you can expect a full and thorough spin-cycle on this as the PTB have featured "Globull Warming" prominently in their plans to establish greater and greater control over everyone.

Yes and no. I really have to wonder if the cooling temps have made them move to plan B. No doubt that control is the ultimate goal but the cooling is hurting them and polls show people not buying it any more. They may have miscalculated getting cap and trade passed while doing a global financial meltdown at the same time.

The idiots/fools who fall for this scam deserve everything they are about to get. I can no longer feel sorry for these morons.
This is what they tried in CA when we had rolling blackouts. It was a fiasco and of course that was used to "show" how deregulation didn't work. It was shortly after that Enron folded and Arnold was elected to "fix" everything. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

They may have miscalculated getting cap and trade passed while doing a global financial meltdown at the same time. They are already subtly morphing the message by now referring to "Global Climate Change" rather than "Globull Warming", and that was already occurring because there was already too much contradictory data getting out. This latest revelation simply blows the lid a little further off. I would expand on the theme a bit but have to run for now.

On the other hand, the incandescent bulbs can be a good way to teach toddler boys that pretty things can be dangerous.
If a nation expects to be diverse and free, it expects what never was and never will be.
Not pretty. I knew it would be ugly for the TRUE BELIEVERS when their god came tumbling down...

That works great in the Northwest when weather almost never permits and if you don't live in the middle of one of the two cities, public transportation doesn't exist. Methinks yon moron has lived in LA too long.
COMRADE! Why are you not showing your Party affiliation and showing proper respect for Dear Leader? Put your Barackstika armband on RIGHT NOW!
I would like to track suicides which can be attributed to this global scam-hoax...they'll be dashing themselves soon if not already IMO. The tools that is...

There's less mercury in a truckload of those CFLs than the average Uhhmerkkin has in their mouth in fillings. It's a non-issue, but the goob wants to make it one so they can "give" us a mercury tax.
Which is exactly the plan.
I wonder if Begley knows why
they don't have cycling events in central PA in December?

Begley, Al Gore, and all the other green morons didn't say ONE word against Obummer when he had the White House hotter than a sauna last winter when he first invaded his new government housing. I distinctly remember Chris Matthews laughing about it.
_________________________________________________________________________ Let me repeat: What you can also count, though, on is the fact that the doctrinaire "free marketeers" will always point out that you didn't follow EXACTLY what they would have prescribed to do and so will disregard the rest of your arguments. You didn't let me down. In my area of the state, which is not on ERCOT aka the Texas Grid, the utilities ARE privately-held and own lignite coal-fired generating plants all over the region, but are still subject to regulation. Our GOP state senator at the time took an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to this issue. He became interim lieutenant governor around the time this was being debated and was able to exempt us from deregulation. Good move, in retrospect. All the "free market" think tanks laughed at him, but the fact is that the deregulated areas now have even higher rates, while ours, which were already lower than average, haven't risen much at all. The Chimp's deregulation schemes, in retrospect, were just a giant gift to the so-called "late" Ken Lay and Enron. There are very few things the Chimp or his daddy, Chimp Sr., ever did while holding political office that didn't involve graft and corruption in some way.
