Save money on Energy: Buy Compact Florescents

Lower your energy consumption to save money.   In my first apartment the maintenance included the electric bill.  I had no idea how much money I was wasting until I got a place where I had to pay for electric separately.  The first thing I did after I got my first bill was to run out and buy compact flourescent bulbs for the whole house.  At first I found it difficult to read in bed till I got a more powerful bulb and solved the issue.  I saved a lot of money that month and for many months after.  Don't beleive the nonsense about energy effiicency.  I also wised up and bought a new refridgerator.  If your fridge is more than five years old, buy a new one.  It will pay for itself in no time.  In general don't believe the anti-green propaganda.  That's just the oil, gas and dirty coal interests trying to keep a hold on your money.  Green is Good and it will save you money.  I did many of the things they say won't save money and I am richer for it.  In my next house I am getting solar panels even though some say they are not really efficient.  I don't believe it.  I think going green is patriotic.  I would like to see the whole USA become energy independant.  While China and India fight it out for oil and gas, we can sit back and count our money.
