The Mis-Informed need to read their electric bill
Sorry for this long post.
For some unknown reason, those who talk about ocean drilling concern themselves only with oil. Natural Gas is also a product of ocean drilling. A very clean source of energy.
Those who support of the use of LSV's in South Walton need to realize that a large amount of the power in Walton County comes from Natural Gas powered electric power production plants. Take a look at your Chelco power bill. The information is contained there for your reference.
Meanwhile, SOME OF THOSE who support LSV use in Walton suggest the those of us who drive automobiles, take the "feeder routes" to highway 98, to navigate "around" 30A. That makes real sense (not)! Using more time and fuel to cover the same distance, in some cases, two to three times the amount of fuel and time. Again, what are SOME OF THESE LSV supporters thinking? It appears, not much at all.
I suspect there are many LSV supporters that understand the realities of the proposed "feeder road use" for automobiles solution. (just a small rant, why do LSV supporters believe that their time is more valuable than automobile drivers? Transplanted "Elitists" I suspect who have no clue as to how to ride a bicycle. )
I agree with the poster that one must have a complete plan to reduce their overall use of fossil fuels involving automobile, home and business consumption. This is actually quite simple to undertake, and with a few low cost minor improvements and maintenance performed to their home, can result in a tremendous amount of energy savings (in my personal case, over 30% reduction in energy usage).
The easiest way to reduce energy usage is to look at what energy one is using today and find each and every way to reduce the usage by simply applying common sense and very few dollars to eliminate energy waste. Instead of downsizing one's large automobile/SUV to a smaller energy efficient vehicle, one could just spend the money on the maintenance necessary to make sure the vehicle is running as efficient as possible.
In this poster's view, it is much better to seek out how one can be as energy efficient as possible, versus telling other people what they should do (like telling people to ditch their SUVs). And just for the record, my car is a small and efficient vehicle that gets 36 MPG and I ditched my SUV years ago in my own personal effort to reduce energy usage. I miss the SUV for the obvious safety reasons, but this means I just have to concentrate on being a better defensive driver and do a better job to avoid the idiots who drive on 30A, Highway 98 and the rest of the planet for that matter.

- so not only do they not have a clue who you are, they are actually making problems for someone else because of your common sense posts about fuel consumption!?! Guess I better hide since I thanked you for them. Talk about nonsense. :roll:
