Global Warming and Electricity Bills

chapte21It seems like shops, restaurants, schools and libraries and other public places are increasingly leaving the lights on after dark.  I don’t mean a few lights so as to deter thieves or vandalism, but I mean literally every light in the place.  Why is this?

When I was growing up our we got scolded for leaving the lights on in rooms because electricity costs money and dad, wasn’t made of it.  As I got older and started paying my own bills, I knew exactly what he meant.  I was quite young when the oil crisis hit, but I remember it well.  I remember being told to conserve our resources because they were finite, expensive and because we did not want to be beholden to foreign powers.

The same period also saw the rise of the environmental movement.  Most electricity was produced by generators that polluted the air of our cities, and the meltdowns.  Accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl provided that even “clean” nuclear energy was dangerous.  So I have always turned off all anything that uses electricity that was not in use in order to economize, and because it was better for the environment.

Some of those reasons were overstated, but have they all evaporated?  Has electricity become that cheep?  Or is it that new light bulbs and appliances are so much more efficient that it doesn’t matter if they’re left on?  Seriously, I’m wondering.  Because when I see every light left on in a place like a library or school where people should know better, I have to wonder.

Why People Don’t Use Mass Transit

MBTA Routing

I had to go into Boston today from Wellesley.  I had to be at 1 Kneeland Street at 3:30 pm.  I used the MBTA site to plan the trip and was given two options, one involving a transfer, the other not.

To avoid a transfer, I had to leave at Wellesley Square 12:33, take the Framingham/Worcester Line to South Station, and walk for what the MBTA estimates would have been 15 minutes to my appointment. If that’s correct, the train would get it at 1:15 pm, with a 15 minute walk, that’s 1:30.  Then I suppose I could have lunch or something to kill the 2 hours before my appointment.  The cost of this option, $5.25 and time in transit, 66 minutes.

The faster route, but 6 minutes, involved less walking and allowed me to leave later, but cost more.  I would have once again taken the Framingham/Worcester line, but this time to Back Bay, were I would have transfered to the Orange Line, getting to my stop at 3:10 for the brief walk.  This route cost $7.25.
