Well, I saw green wheels. <g>
>I mean, the lecky comes from your mains and somewhere fuel is being burned to supply this. If that lecky comes from a coal-fired generator then it's the people who live nearby who get the polution (same thing for "smokeless" fuel - coal - someone gets the smoke while the coal is being converted).
A friend who has thorough knowledge states that last generation coal-fired generators filter the pollution very thorough.
> We're told that we must be greener, and switch stand-by components off (something I do religiously btw) yet we have more and more devices on than ever before: phone chargers, flat-screen VDUs transformers, Nintendos, digital cameras recharging, digital radios (which consume more lecky than the trad. type btw), et al. Now the Volvo gets plugged in overnight!
