Well, I've turned the lights out. Just got one CFL on, I'm not turning that one off.

Unfortunately I'm using the washing machine, so my consumption is higher than it would normally be.

All my energy saving lightbulbs were off, however the 150w bulb was on in my proj as were 2 comps while I was watching a film. And of course the 5x 110w rms amp...

Oops

I'm not so worried about the global warming, doesn't that little lot cost you a fortune to run?

The earth has a great many alternative sources of energy - it just happens that fossil fuels are cheap and easy to use at present. When they start running out, they will start using these alternatives.
TBH, I can't see it being long before we start to see more nuclear power stations springing up, now that the likes of China and India are starting to use more and more fossil fuels to power their massive industrial demands.
