    Holy shit you have a lot of energy wasters. Are you Al Gore or somebody? Eight hundred watt INCANDESCANT bulbs in your bathroon? You really don't give a shit about the planet your decendants will have to live on, do you? 800 watts of lighting in a bathroom is so fucking wasteful I can't evene imagine it.
