Why is wasting electricity a terrible thing….?

its not as though electricity is going to “run out”…like oil or something……ok..perhaps your bill is a bit bigger if you choose to use your way more convenient dryer rather than the time consuming outdoor clothesline..id rather pay the extra 10 bucks a month to use my freaking dryer than annoying hang clothes all day…….so whats the big “deal” about “wasting electricity”??..surely its as endless as time…..unlike oil or some such…………….annoying concept …i will continue to use my dryer and normal lite bulbs ..rather than the expensive “energy saving” ones that cost loads of cash…

electricitiy is made from things like coal, oil and sometimes gas these things run out and when they run out they take millions of years to form again. If you get or use renable energy sorces like wind, solar hydo ect it won’t run out and everyone will be able to enjoy electrical things for many more years.

Damming rivers is hardly clean energy. The demand creates a strain on spillover allowances. Dryers are hard on your clothing anyways. Texas is dotted with polluting sources of power. Some states use nuclear power back east which is dangerous as far as pollution goes. There are plenty of options such as wind power that are becoming availble as resources are strained. The math shows that the energy saving ones last longer. I have lived in my apartment for almost 3 years and have had to replace one light bulb. It also helps keep my rent low. Good luck following corporate ideals.

It isn’t only the electricity you are wasting you are wasting the resources used to make that electricity. Also, by using electricity when it is really isn’t necessary, you are potentially helping to lead to a brown out or black out esp in the hot summer months when everyone’s got the ac on

Electricity mainly comes from oil and coal burning.

A plant somewhere will burn the fuel. The fuel powers a generator which sends electricity into the power grid.
