The irony of giant ovens

Regarding “All That Snazz,” Feb. 11: I find it ironic and more than a little hypocritical that the people shouting at the top of their lungs that greenhouse gases are killing the Earth are the same ones who are buying oversize refrigerators and ranges.

Those appliances, requiring more electricity and natural gas than regular residential ones, are installed in huge houses far from employment centers.

It doesn’t take a genius to see why so many important social issues come down to real estate utilization. I hope we learn to do a much better job in the future.
