A few weeks back I was driving to work in the early morning dark. About halfway to Toronto I noticed a newer office building (the highway is jammed with them) that was lit up like a Christmas tree. Just then it struck me why this building caught my attention – because all the other buildings WEREN’T lit up. This a big change from just 5 years ago when every office park along the Queen Elizabeth Highway was fully lit, day and night. I don’t know if this shift away from wasteful electricity use is a post-blackout reaction (south eastern Ontario suffered a massive blackout 4 years ago) or a more enlightened (pardon the pun) attitude towards energy usage, but it’s pretty darned encouraging.
