"energy" conservation... or just "my money" conservation...?
I hafta say, most people don't think beyond their direct impact.
Say you have an old 700kWh/year refrigerator and you just bought a new onew that uses 275kWh/year.
Which of these two choices would you make on the haul-away option?
1.) haul-away guy who will refurnish, then resell it, but gives you $50 for it.
2.) haul-away guy who damages it beyond economic repair before your eyes, so that it will not get put back into service.
