Yes, this is far more logical. Although I am not that big of an eco-anything, I have, over the years, replaced all of my old appliances with energy star stuff (and enjoyed the tax credit by the way!). I just happen to not bother with things I don't use--I don't have a microwave, toaster, or any of that useless shite.
I am having the last set of windows replaced this year (that is some expensive shit to do!). And, I keep my gas heat at 58 during the winter. None of this is for the eco-halo, but it is just another way to save money so I can buy other CRAP that I do like having.
I would like to get a boat. Wouldn't that be fun? Especially on a day like today...
