Quoting SuiGeneris}
this is the thing we should do isnt it? to go over alternative energy sources "MORE"... or upgrading the existing power plants...[/QUOTE:
Actually both. Of course developing alternative energy sources, but also making existing facilities more efficient. There are certainly ways to reduce both CO2 and NOx emissions in coal and gas fired boilers.

Quoting aenigma x: Quoting KeithL: How do they offer you green power options? I'm in the industry and that says scam all over it.... |
Dont worry its perfectly legitimate  . A percentage of the extra you pay goes towards developing the technology to produce greener power too

I'll buy that. Your not actually buying "green energy". You are donating for R/D for green energy. Which is admirable.

Turkey has zero nuclear power generation. Its all a combination of fossil fuel (coal and natural gas) and hydro.

Quoting SuiGeneris: as an action, turning off electricity for making the society/people aware of global warming is good...
But electricity has nothing to do with global warming...
it has much more with gasses out from the cars we use everyday... and industrial wastes... |
You talk about alternative electric generation options. But fossil fuel combustion by far is the biggest producer of electricty in teh world. Aenigma is spot on..

Quoting aenigma x: Anyway... to return to the subject, are there any TC Turkish members affected by the snow?  |
Snow in Istanbul is actually the worst. I love snow, but all the hills here, the cars cannot navigate and there are alot of accidents. Additionally, there is not alot of snow removal equipment so the snow stays until it melts. There are 7 hills of istanbul and I live on the steepest (Fulya). Whenever we get more than 10cm of snow, our area almost shuts down. No taxis, no garbage pickup. Its really bad. (Not talking bad about Turkey by the way. Just honestly describing conditions as I see them.)

Does this mean I can go and live in Turkey? |
We would be very glad, aenigma. We will meet you at the airport with flowers. 
I can help you learn Turkish; free of charge |
Flowers Eh Mr. Q? hehehehe! I think they will be the poisonous Deadly Nightshade eh? |
I don't know about flowers as much as you do. The flowers I know,are rose, daisy, etc
+ give you a guided tour in İstanbul. If you wish any other thing it will be my pleasure.
Consider it. |
Actually, the official flower of istanbul is the tulip. The tulips of Holland actually came from Istanbul...

Quoting janissary: go around and enjoy istanbul friend. get an akbil (Akbil=akıllı bilet: intelligent ticket) and istanbul is urs |
Janissary is right. Get an akbil and put 25 YTL on it. You can spend the day in Taksim area, Sultan Ahmet, or just get off every stop on the metro between Taksim and Levent for 30 minutes and walk around. You are close to the airport so the train cant be very far from where you are staying. Don't sit inside all day!!!
