rubahAfter a long discussion with my dad on the poorness of Arkansas energy, I have come to the conclusion that this page is lots of B. S.
http://www.1800arkansas.com/Energy/index.cfm?page=energy_saver
Easier way to lower energy bill would be to do what Clarksville is (they're about thirty miles away from here). Which is, of course, running a 70 mile power line down from somewhere in the eastern part of the state that isn't under Energy's jurisdiction, so they don't have to pay Energy's rates.
If that guy who put up all those AP&L lines back in the 30s could be here today, I'm sure he'd just break down and cry.
Or maybe not, he ended up being a millionaire by the time he was like 23. Or something like that; arkansas history was last year.
We have a nuclear power plant, three hydro plants on one river (still trying to find out for homework how many there are in total) and a ton of trees we could burn.
Yet our energy bill is still $90 in the winter.
(Apparently people in Lousianna want our energy we make for less.. which according to dad would force us to foot Energy's lack of profits they'd make there then. Joy)

Koyoto agreement?
Date: 2004-05-03 03:56 am (UTC)Unfortunately you silly yanks don't believe so and won't sign up to the Koyoto agreement, which in turn leaves us all dying of greenhouse gasses, world poloution etc etc etc.
Did you know that if EVERYONE in the UK switched off their TV's at night, instead of using standby, that would enable a WHOLE powerplant to shut down? Maybe energy saving is important.
Our energy bill during the winter is much more that your poxy $90 (£45 ish), ours is like £250, and our house is extremely energy saving...
They're building off shore wind turbines to help being more sustainable, and more and more of the UK Nuclear powerstations are being closed down and uncomissioned for a greener future.
Why don't you read www.greenpeace.com ???
Re: Koyoto agreement?
Date: 2004-05-03 02:21 pm (UTC)That wasn't my point though. My point was that monopolies are bad and someone should punished Energy Corp. for being evil.
Money saving, not electricity saving.
