Turn Out the Lights

J.P., don't laugh. The Spitzers were big on energy savings, as the kindly Mrs. Spitzer narrates in the recent video tour linked to in this excerpt about her preference for dim bulbs:

In a video of a tour she gave to Domino magazine about her efforts to "green" the governor's mansion in Albany, Spitzer seems friendly and chipper, talking about the possibility of a "carbon-neutral future." She talks about having installed compact fluorescent bulbs in all the lamps, and leads a videographer on a tour of the kitchen and the greenhouse, where the staff grows organic food to serve during meals.
