Separate names with a comma.
hill, I don't know how they are doing their estimates, but when you cut electrical usage you back out fossil fuels first. The nuke, hydro, wind...
I'm sorry to hear that. If you've changed out her incandescents to CFL's there is some unfortunate irony.
Unless it is a new system with an ECM blower, it is probably wasting a lot of juice. My system is 1994 vintage, SEER 12 claimed but I suspect it...
Hmmm...now if we could just get her to pose with the front loader...okay, it would be a somewhat non-traditional shoot. Tell ya what, I'll adjust...
I have a regular Kill-a-watt (not the EZ). Yes, mine does account for the power factor. I can't say what its overall accuracy is across the range,...
That's about what my old 27" Curtis Mathes uses when it is on. Your annual cost sounds about right depending on usage and size. I'm planning to...
Thanks all for the comments. With as little as I've used the bulb the payback is kind of long (maybe as much as 3 years), but with the CFL in...
I would post this in the CFL thread, but this is a more specific question and some might have tuned that out already. So the question is, have...

What is the assumed lifetime of the hardware? (The expensive panels anyway.) What percentages of the install cost are the supplemental power...
I'll see what I can do. I was going to post a link to the pdf for the manual, but realized that the relevant hard copy pages are missing from the...
I got the LG fridge earlier this week and am still adjusting it, monitoring temps, and recording baseline power usage. So far the power demand is...
Well, one could look at annual GDP and unemployment throughout the 1930's and it would be pretty obvious that the authors of the latter couldn't...
Use between 3.0 to 3.5 quarts for your refill after oil and filter change or you might end up overfull. Toyota's 3.9 quart fill results in about...
Yep, saw this one yesterday. Gotta love the clean coal parody commercials. Thanks to them the con job is starting to wear thin.
I agree with the above, cap & trade is not my first choice. Direct carbon taxes make much more sense. But cap & trade is better than the...
Hey, I've got a better idea! Instead of increasing the cost of fossil fuels to pay for improved efficiency and alternative sources of energy,...
Obama's not leading us to economic collapse. You conservatives already have us there.
Some is not "most", hence the large rise in CO2. The yearly rise is actually pretty close to what I calculated by hand ~15 years ago... The...
In previous decades they were. Now they are called cellphone users. Everytime I think I've ID'ed a drunk driver anymore it turns out they are...
