schwit1 (797399) writes with news that a UK study has found that folks
concerned about climate change don't do much to conserve power at home. From
the article: Those who say they are concerned about the prospect of climate
change consume more energy than those who say it is "too far into the future
to worry about," the study commissioned by the Department for Energy and
climate change found. That is in part due to age, as people over 65 are more
frugal with electricity but much less concerned about global warming.
However, even when pensioners are discounted, there is only a "weak trend" to
show that people who profess to care about climate change do much to cut
their energy use. The findings were based on the Household Electricity
Survey, which closely monitored the electricity use and views of 250 families
over a year. The report (PDF), by experts from Loughborough University and
Cambridge Architectural Research, was commissioned and published by DECC.
High power use doesn't have to be dirty: Replace coal, methane, and petroleum
with nuclear, wind, solar, etc.
