i agree , we have changed or light bulbs to energy saving bulbs , 10 watt = 60

watt , 7 watt = 40 watt , stores got a big supply of cheap ones in and they were

sold in no time and we do not leave on any stand buttons or phone charghers

the number of people who leave their pc's , etc on at night and when they are out must run into the millions

I can't leave my computer on cuz it is too loud! And I can't leave my other one on cuz it is a laptop!

Computer Hope Admin · « **Reply #5 on:** March 07, 2009, 02:34:23 PM »

Why couldn't you leave a laptop on 24/7?

It wouldent help the earth in any way for us to turn our power off here...

There's a reason why we have the cheapest electricity, it comes from the largest concrete structure on earth!

We generate, I think its around 3X more power than we actually use, I always thought it was odd that they didnt just turn off Power House 1 and 3. Were going to be selling all the way down to California some day.

Did you know?
The Government is unfairly taking money from the Grand Coulee Dam, which has already completely paid itself off? Its the only reason why our electricity bills arent one dollar a month.

For each time a power transformer is hit at the dam (before it gets to the power line transformers), it costs 1 million dollars to replace it? (Those things are massive).

i know what your saying but surely the point is save all the power from what ever source and by what ever means to save energy

ok , let them sell the power to carilfornia and that means they can close their power plant and save oil/gas what ever it runs on

in spain there is a solar plant up and running big enough which would run LA day and night , which means it would be free of oil/gas , with a small charge for maintenance

its great to see pres; obama is moving towards renewable energy

We dont even "slow down" the turbines... we will generate the same amount of power no matter what, but, eh.

The Government doing something unfair and taking money from the Dam, which in turn takes money out of the hands of the people.

Surely not. Thats unthinkable. Not the Government. They've been fair and just for years.

Mighty cool decade for global warming.

Anyway why don't California take care of it's own needs?

There is a big ocean out there in front of California and it
is always moving.

Is the power supply source for charging electric cars going to
come from a source that pollutes?If so what is the advantage?

the news may not have arrived in the states yet but the sea is raising by 3 to 5 cm a

year and in 100 years ( which is only a life time ) california will not be able to do

anything , it will be under water , there are islands already under water and in

20/30 years they will be gone

.....and all that will be left is Arizona Bay

harry 48 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 10, 2009, 01:33:16 PM »

where ever that may be , i must have a look on google earth , half of britain will be under water to , they reckon over the earth 200 million people will have no homes , work or food

reddevilggg · « **Reply #17 on:** March 10, 2009, 02:17:38 PM »

Looks like I'll have to talk you though it.

If California is covered with water then Arizona will have a coastline. Arizona Bay.

oh right i got it , then new york will just be bits of concrete and glass sticking up from the sea , if and when the sea doe's go up 3ft how much of the states would be lost

they said 20 years ago that Vancouver Island would be underwater by 2000. I have yet to see the tides go past their beaches.

California being the Land of Fruits and Nuts will by it's very nature never be able to take care of itself nor the people there...
This is a fact and not to be confused with opinion.

Lights off!

computeruler · « **Reply #22 on:** March 28, 2009, 09:15:40 AM »

What hour do the lights go off?

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #23 on:** March 28, 2009, 09:21:00 AM »

8:30 - 9:30 pm for your time zone.

harry 48 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 28, 2009, 09:21:52 AM »

8pm GMT i think

harry 48 · « **Reply #25 on:** March 28, 2009, 09:26:03 AM »

more proof of global warming the flooding the states , old people said they have

never seen it before its spring in britain and we are getting ( our ) winter

conditions

computeruler · « **Reply #26 on:** March 28, 2009, 09:37:54 AM »

that time zone on my profile is wrong by a couple of hours
If harry is right thats about 3pm

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #27 on:** March 28, 2009, 09:50:28 AM »

I would think its 8:30 - 9:30pm in YOUR time zone. Why would you keep your lights off when they are already off during the day?

Actually, What I SHOULD say about this is not that I don't believe the earth is warming, but rather that we either caused it or can stop it.

After all- temperatures were tropicall almost worldwide in the mesozoic, which is a little bit before the industrial revolution.

of course this is by no means condoning that we should treat the planet as a dumping ground.

killed of some how which could be mans own fault , and something else will come

along to take over ( or not ) , but man will go to another planet somewhere to
