Amen, Truthseeker – what a crock of crap, “Oh! my headlights are on – there goes my gas mileage!” But look at how few on here even questioned the fact. Reminds me of a tenant whose sewer pipe had frozen up one winter and the water backed up in her bathtub. “Is my water safe to drink?” I assured her as long as she didn’t drink from the toilet or tub, she would be fine. And my current tenant actually asked me one day if my goldfish pond’s pump affected his water pressure. How about this people? If you drive at night and keep your lights off, you’ll improve your gas mileage…

Ridiculous. Gasoline doesn’t power headlamps. Duh! The writer doesn’t understand what the alternator does, which runs the electrical system while the car is running. Gasoline powers the engine which turns the belt to run the alternator, which runs no more or no less with lights on or off, radio on or off etc.

“They want a fascist planet with the superwealthy ruling it all
Since we’re too independent, America must be led to fall
When our credit’s been exhausted to subdue the Middle East,
They’ll install our debtor nation in the body of The Beast
Traitor…Dare call it treason”

The lightbulb lobby works very well cause this is good news for lightbulb manufacturors.
Just like in the EU the ordinary lightbulb will be banned in favor for these energy saving lightbulbs. The ordinary lightbulb amounts to only two percent of electricity consumption but still the need to be replaced by the energy efficient ones that consume less and last longer.
But these new lambs are made up of chemicals and to produce them requires chemical processes and when the lamb has died it is a chemical waste product…..

In Canada, cars are required to keep their headlights on all day. The most noticable difference is that from up to a quarter a mile away, you can tell the difference between a car that is parked and stationary, and a car that has an idling engine or is moving towards or away from you. There is also the advantage that you can tell when a car is nearby in intermittent daytime fog. The theory is that requiring headlights to remain on will prevent accidents where someone steps out of a stationary car, or when cars speed through creeping fog (found next to valley rivers).

Hypocrisy.
No, the debate is the farcical AGW hoax is due to ‘carbon emissions’, yet they want you to emit more carbon, for no gain.

In the winter, in Finland, near the arctic circle then DRLs are effective. (hey Alaska is also 60-70 north latitude)
For the continental 48 states, they are worthless.
