How much wattage do you use to light your fish tank?

Al Gore lights it for him with magic candles.

Anyone crying about global warming that has a reef tank; defines the word hypocrite. :bum:

I thought motivation did not matter. Your oppinion when it comes to charity is it's the OUTCOME that is important. Do you you think the earth cares weather it was out of lazyness?
WOW! The hypocracy is getting deep!

I think you have to cool down a little. Maybe you might take the time to read your posts too, I think that might help. You asked:

I have a group of four 75W bulbs over the wet bar in my den. One has been burned out for about two weeks now and I have not replaced it yet. If I let it be and don't replace it will that make me an environmentalist?

I thought you were asking if by your actions you were an environmentalist. Is that what you were asking? or were you asking if by not replacing the 75w bulb you were helping the environment. Two very different questions. I answered the first.

300W. Does that help?

This was addressed to Rossini, not you. He said he is 100% dependent on wind supplied energy. The scenario you describe sounds a little dubious.

My apologies, I thought you were asking a general question. The scenario I described is not dubious. It is even the plan I have for my house.

How long does it take to buy efficient bulbs? You say you used energy efficient bulbs "wherever you can", Does this mean there are places were you can not? Or is that on your 10 yr plan also?

All done mate where possible the first week. In fact we received most of the globes free from our power company. "Where we can" refers to some lights that energy efficient globes do not fit into. I hope to replace these soon. You can make fun of my plan all you want to. But at least I have a plan. At least I am trying to do some good. If I had my way I would get there within a year, however my finances do not stretch that far yet.

Not quite. But I can if you like.

1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

Hope that helps. Maybe some day you might have something useful to say.

HippieSmell - My comment was made simply to highlight the hypocrisy of the green crowd. They are willing to impose their beliefs on everyone BUT themselves unless it fits with their lifestyle. This is congruent with the way the democratic politicians are generous with everyone else's money BUT their own.

And I again reiterate - Ahhhhhh the hypocrisy of the green crowd. They are willing to impose their beliefs on everyone BUT themselves unless it fits with their lifestyle. This is congruent with the way the democratic politicians are generous with everyone else's money BUT their own.
