    Politically incorrect to run all that electrical stuff in a world of green house gas emissions. (isn't Australia no 1 wrt to population size anyway??) Also you've got to think of all those petrol motors dragging the kids around to see the lights. Ban Christmas lights I say. (Also would help reduce the Chinese imports.)

    Kevin might have trouble ratifying Kyoto and then we'll remain with that other renegade George Dubya......

    The Shire is one of the worst offenders wrt overloading the grid. Bonnet bay roads are now closed. Keep them in the box - better still - send them in for recycling. Maybe you can adorn the landy with them, but never turn them on.

    I hear you can get LED ones now. If you need to have lights that would be the way to go. Only a small percentage of the energy use of incandescent globes.

    YAAAWN. So you live in a mudhut minus electricity, don't own a vehicle, are a vegan, wear natural fibre clothes bath in a stream hey?
    Give me a break....what about the 50000000000000 lights and aircon on in town 24/7 every day.

    I am concerned about the environment, and do what I can in a realistic, practical way, but spare us the PC, fun police stuff PLEASE
