Re: Re: Re: Re: A bit further down the road we're walking
I grew up in a family that was run by depression survivors. We never used more wattage than absolutely necessary. 100 watt bulbs were pretty much never used. I never saw a 200 watt bulb. Peer pressure was applied to people who left lights burning in vacant rooms.
Then, I found that my excess light was destroying the usefullness of the Hooker telescope.
I still run my apartment that way. I imagine that there are a lot of people who have no use for 200 watt bulbs.
Note that this all happened before there was much in the way of "propaganda" as you would name it.
