Right Chris, saving 30% energy is easy for everyone. All it takes is not using what you don't need, sharing and cutting a few drives, putting on a sweater, turning off lights, consolidating your errands, etc., also buying energy efficient machines, using cleaner energy. If we all did it we'd be that much less dependent on the Arabs and could keep our wilderness lands pristine. Win-win deal.

You cut your electricity usage by thirty percent, or your total energy usage (gasoline, diesel, and Natural gas, if you use it)? If you reduced your electricity usage 30%, understand that doesn't have a lot to do with oil. Very little (if any) electricity in California is produced from burning oil based fuels. Most of the electricity in California is from hydroelectric, Nuclear, or burning Natural Gas (or coal, generated out of state). Though any conservation effort is good.
