It has contracted the services of a spy plane sporting thermal imaging equipment to shoot the borough, and overlay their heat-maps onto street maps to identify houses that are wasting or producing too much heat-energy.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalwarmingwatch.blogspot.com/2007/05/energy-gluttons-are-to-be-shamed.html">I am all for measures that encourage people to use energy efficiently - this is our low hanging fruit when it comes to combating climate change - but I am not so sure about the 'shaming' aspect.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalwarmingwatch.blogspot.com/2007/05/energy-gluttons-are-to-be-shamed.html">People should <I>want </I>to conserve energy out of a sense of community, responsibility to those who will come after us, and common planetary stewardship.
