I consider those normal purchases and should not be tagged onto the bill for pushing energy conservation. The cost difference between the most efficent models and a more typical model is part of the cost of conservation. Of course the reduction in cost spent on energy is part of the benefit and can often be more then the cost difference, unless you already have sunk cost in a less efficent model. I understand it wasn't what you where talking about, so in the area that you where talking about conservation has a cost of at or near $0 (well maybe you will buy a couple of new sweaters...) Also cost isn't just in terms of dollars. Some energy savers like heating the house only to 55 or in the summer cooling it only to 80 effect your life. Some people spend more time in the house and than others and some are more then usually sensitve to temperature extremes. For you these tempetures may be fine but for many people they would not be. If you want to save money and make an environmental statement by doing this, more power to you. But I don't think you should try to pressure or force other people to do this. Tim
