The biggest source of clean cheap energy is energy not used. R. Muller, Foreign Policy, Nov 2008

If you don’t understand energy efficient technology it’s probably because it’s based on principles of thermodynamics, physics, and rocket science. © Crook 2010

When you install an alternative energy system without first reducing your building’s demand for energy you ‘re still wasting energy and foregoing comfort--You've put the cart before the horse. © Crook 2011

An energy efficient building is always "Green" but a green buildings isn't always energy efficient. © Crook 2009

It's always easier to get into something than it is to get out.

Clean coal refers to coal with less particulants/pollutants. Clean coal when burned, unless SEQUESTRATED spews CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) into the atmosphere causing pollution. What does "clean coal" and "pork the other white meat have in common? Both are half-truths and both have the propensity to make you sick.

Energy Savings for Lighting and Fans

Posted 08/18/2011 by Siti Crook

G. Gopi asked the following question:

“What are the recent advancements in the lighting field and fans with regard to energy savings?”

Dennis, the energy crook responded by saying:

A light emitting diode, (aka LED) used in lighting uses 1/12 the energy of incandescent lighting.

Dyson Manufacturing has made a new fan that uses about half the energy of a conventional fan but the original cost is quite high according to the following article reviewing the product:
