As all lighting in homes shops offices and streets turns to LED there will be further huge cuts in consumption. As a rule of thumb, a CFL uses 45% less than an incandescent lamp, and an LED uses 95% less than an incandescent,

Its amazing how fast the LED street lights are popping up in Befordshire, you never see them being changed but the next day you drive along a road and they are every where.

I bought a 4ft fluorescent light unit for the garage on Monday and saw the equivelant LED unit, another £15 dearer and for its size less lumins.

If only they had built much smaller CCGT plants and placed them in the centre of towns , to use the 'waste heat' for heating buildings , etc.

Like we used to do in the '50's.
