Re: Use Less Electrical Energy.

You don't want diesel because it polutes your air.
coal polutes the air and is a fossil fuel
Gas is a fossil fuel and so is oil, I suspect we'll soon be charged an extortionate price for theses by foreign countries
Nuclear is dangerous because of the waste
hydro power floods the valleys
wind power upsets people cos it doesn't look pretty and can be noisey

Did you know that a lot of the diesel train engines are diesel/electric?, they use a diesel generator engine to power an electric traction motor.
