SCIENTISTS have warned that Christmas lights are bad for the planet due to huge electricity waste and urged people to get energy efficient festive bulbs.
CSIRO researchers said householders should know that each bulb turned on in the name of Christmas will increase emissions of greenhouse gases.
Dr Glenn Platt, who leads research on energy demand, said Australia got 80 per cent of its electricity by burning coal which pumps harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
He said: "Energy efficient bulbs, such as LEDs, and putting your Christmas lights on a timer are two very easy ways to minimise the amount of electricity you use to power your lights."
He said the nation's electricity came from "centralised carbon intensive, coal-based power stations" which were responsible for emitting over one third of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions.
Dr Platt added: "For a zero-emission Christmas light show, you may consider using solar powered lights or sourcing your electricity from verified green power suppliers."
Dear Dr Glenn Twat: just go fuck yourself, you lentil-munching, cock-sucking, goat-felching, fuck-faced spazmong of a killjoy dildo.
Cunt.

I have been waiting for some greenie rimjaw to come up with that!
I just knew that one of those cocksuckers had to open their turd-stained mouth and spout forth on the evil of Christmas lights.
May they have a whole pine tree crammed up their overstretched arsehole!
Australia the home of new fascism
Just how the f**k do you get to use solar power lights at night??

solar lights at night - via a huge battery...that uses nickel mined from a big hole in the ground (probably near London, Ontario - take a look at the google earth photos!). Nice and environmentally friendly - not. I recycle, have run "environment" schemes for companies etc etc - but cunts like this bloke really piss me off.
They haven't quite tried this one in England just yet.
Too many people either wildly decorate the exteriors of their homes or enjoy viewing the results ( specially the kiddies ).
The proper line to take for right thinking people is that the practise is tacky and chavvish but does no harm and provides a bit of fun, if you like that sort of thing.
Correct!
