What uses more energy and produces more green house gases?Turning a lamp on? Or turning a bedroom light on?

Answer 1

getting online and asking a Q

Answer 2

Depends on the wattage of the bulb.  A 40 watt bulb uses less energy than a 50 watt bulb, even though they use the same 120 volts.  Seriously though, there's no significant difference between the two.  A 300 watt bulb uses a lot more, but you probably don't need that much light.  Still, a 300 watt bulb only costs some 10 cents or so an hour to use.  Your hair dryer at 500 to 1,000 watts uses more energy than any light bulb in your house.

But if you're worried about the myth of global warming, you can put that away.  Be wise with electricity, yes.   But you don't have to go live in a log cabin just because a few politicians want to control us.
