Who says it's wasted? It's only wasted if it's not performing a 
function as I require.

As I said, the govts energy saving is all bollocks. Take low energy 
lightbulbs. They bleated on about them as the saviour of the planet but 
forgot to take into account that in a cold climate like ours, any 
savings from the bulbs are negated by the increase in heating to 
compensate for the lack of heat the bulbs give off.
