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.
