Choosing a green energy supplier is like ‘voting’ for green energy. I suppose, if an energy suppliers market share is measured by revenue, then spending more with them is the same as upping your vote.

This really captures my point. Is it right to conserve energy indiscriminantly? No, I’d argue this is a silly approach.

We create technology to improve our lives. For me, if we are conserving indiscriminently then we are ‘wasting’ our innovations, to some degree.

At the same time, if we go around using electricity like there’s no tomorrow, one day there might be no tomorrow.

Really it comes down to, ‘what is waste?’.

I’ll be tackling that question in my next article.

Also, check back to the Consortium site over the next month, as we are adding a Green Energy Service, offering solar power, wind power and other green energy solutions for our customers.

I’ll post up the new links here when they are ready.

The truth is, no-one needs to watch TV. No-one needs to drink hot tea. But we do. And it uses electricity, which burns carbon.

Ironically it’s you who has been short sighted in wrongly interpreting my article. I suggest you read it again.
