I have a 110 year old farmhouse and when I bought the place the oil company knew the past owners on a first name bases.  I've replaced windows, insulated and such and cut my oil costs 1/2 of when I bought the place.  <br>  Question on the article above though.  I understood the empire state building to not have furnaces.  It was heated by the central steam system in NYC and that was partially responsible for its being built so fast originally.  Are they abandoning the steam systems in the building?  The steam/ central heating system for the city would seem to still be more efficient, and green than each building having gigantic furnaces running.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 11th 2009 7:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Empire State Building Goes Green]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/09/empire-state-building-going-green/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/09/empire-state-building-going-green/</guid><description><![CDATA[All buildings need to be completely renovated after 40 or 50 years.

You do realize that all this new stuff has to be manufactured, thus emitting even more of the dreaded so called greenhouse gasses-don't you? You idiots just keep swallowing what the liberal clowns spoon feed you. One volcanic eruption emits more carbon into the ecosystem than the entire industrial revolution! Global warming is a SCAM meant to fund an agenda. Wake up and start thinking on your own before you won't be allowed to!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ray]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 11th 2009 11:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Empire State Building Goes Green]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/09/empire-state-building-going-green/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/09/empire-state-building-going-green/</guid><description><![CDATA["Green" is the new code word. Every company that claims to be green will get more business whether it really does any good or not. I've even seen corporate logos are not done in green, giving the impression that the corporatation actually cares about something other than making a buck. As far as "global warming" goes, it is a natural part of climate change. In the 1970s the big fear mongered by the government and the media was that we were tumbling head over heels into another ice age and there was nothing we could do to change it. Today they scare us with "global warming" and tell us it's all our fault while a select few get richer and the rest of us starve. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pete]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 11th 2009 11:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Empire State Building Goes Green]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/04/09/empire-state-building-going-green/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/04/09/empire-state-building-going-green/</guid><description><![CDATA[what a waste a waste of $20 million]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fred]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 11th 2009 1:10PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
