And there is a hell of a lot more wasted in areas that people can make a 
real difference without inconvinencing themselves, Hell, the old people 
next door to me leave their toilet light on all night - no idea why, but 
it is.

People leave loads of actual loads on lots, dont get efficiant models 
and all sorts of other things. To turn things off at the wall so that 
they use a pittance less power is not a good return on work ratio 
compared with doing something productive.
