controversy vs conservation

[Recent London Free Press article]

Electricity rates are going north soon and the increase will raise the level of rhetoric and controversy in parliament halls and around kitchen tables, coffee shops and other places people gather.

"The increase is needed for infrastructure," some will say. "It's an assault on our hearts and wallets," others will say.


I say, lost in the controversy and shouting will be a simple message: Conservation of energy resources will easily save you $3.63 per month. Stop complaining, save your energy.


Whether it's oil or electricity, our energy demands are unsustainable. Our resources are not limitless.
