State agencies raise the temperature

I WISH to congratulate Ryle Dwyer for his column on so-called global warming by means of fossil fuel burning (Irish Examiner, March 20).

While I am all for burning fuels more efficiently, it is primarily because the less fuel used, the better for the economy.

State and semi-state bodies are the worst offenders, burning the same amount of fuel in late April/May as in January in their heating systems. Instead they should be thermostatically controlled and save taxpayers’ money.
