Very much agree with the order of magnitude argument. I never understood all this economic lighting fad: i use economical light bulbs because they save me money, not because they save the planet. Everything I save this way is probably less then one brake of a freight train.
What irritates me more is how much we allow people to push their irrational arguments over us and let them dominate the discussion. I strongly doubt Greenpeace hasn't made the same math, they just don't care. And still they can make someone be afraid to be labeled as pro-nuclear. Why? Why do we allow obvious flawed theories be pushed around until they become common sense?
