A lot of alliteration about abstaining.<BR/><BR/>I have been on the same mission for the last several years (and writing about it on my blog at http://fivepercent.us/). We have watched our electricity usage fall, and fall, and fall again. Not to mention our water bill and (because we're in the Northeast) our fuel bill. And our gasoline expense. And, well it just keeps a comin'.<BR/><BR/>Two items for your electrical economizing:<BR/><BR/>* Smart Strip is a clever power strip that is good for hookups to computers, TV's and various other things that all come on together.<BR/><BR/>* Don't inch-for-inch LCD is considerably more efficient than old style tube TVs, but most people are buying big. Most people laugh at our puny 26" LCD TV, which replaced a 25" CRT tube. But it actually has substantially more screen area (the calculation requires trigonometry, which is too tiring to think about). I measured with my Kill-A-Watt, and it does use less than the CRT did but a 37 inch "normal" sized TV actually uses more.<BR/><BR/>Later.Tom Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06009992484645543666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668868197712892357.post-64460817677285345662008-06-26T20:29:00.000-07:002008-06-26T20:29:00.000-07:00I so enjoy reading your blogs they make me chuckle...I so enjoy reading your blogs they make me chuckle...ThanksJenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16280978673476352931noreply@blogger.com
