Hi Pete,

I lived in Germany for quite a few years, and because of traditionaly high energy costs, they in general are prepared to pay more for energy saving gadgetary. This in particular I recall covered washing macHines, dishwashers, freezers and low energy lamps. A well insulated house was reckoned to cut 33% off the heating bill. Your comments about rented acomodation are true, unless the owner is a green. Unfortunately, I believe that if energy conservation is seriously going to happen, it will have to be law enforced like the Californian emission laws. Now this may be regarded as controversial, but the the Californian emmission laws did more than any other thing to make the 4 stroke engine less obnoxius to our atmosphere. The next step in these laws (I have forgotten the enforcement date) will favour hybrid cars, which at the same time will mean substantial fuel savings (around 50% I believe)

All for now. My name's Alan, I am new to this thread and live in Hong Kong and am an AMD fan (primarily as it is one of the few long investments that has been profitable in recent times VBG)
