Electricity vs. Conservation

We have used all the available sites and are maxed out for hydroelectric power and wind and solar are unreliable. Our wonderful EPA and ignorant public do not support nuclear power. So the DOE has MANDATED outlawing incandescent light bulbs and REQUIRE the use of mercury laden CFC bulbs. Fluorescent tubes are REQUIRED to be more efficient along with the ballasts that operate them. So where does that all bring us???
In 5 years I have reduced my usage from 137 kWh billed at $33.23 for the month of April 2006. Now I have a bill for 55 kWh for March 2011, a 60% REDUCTION and my bill is still $31.68!!!!!!
The answer is NOT conservation, costs will still go up. Between the EPA, DOE, and environmentalists they are killing our economy. WE NEED GENERATING POWER!!

Still Life In PA

I've been visiting my daughter and grandkids, Ella and Philip in Pennsylvania for two months. I love going there because she has a real kitchen and lets me cook! This is Sunday morning breakfast of waffles with strawberries, whipped cream and strawberry syrup - DELISH! Now back to work stacking sawn lumber from her downed tree.
