All good but...
Another waste of energy is grocery coolers. Why is it, they have to be open coolers, letting 90% or more of their cold air out into the store, instead of keeping it in where it belongs? Walk by the meat department sometime, or dairy, and tell me it isn't at least 10 - 20 degrees cooler.

Seems we'd save lots more energy on that, if we just closed those sections off.
