ENERGY CONSERVATION and Real ECONOMIC PROGRESS and MORE JOBS
~~}If every household in California replaced 4 (average 100 watt) incandescent light bulbs with 4 (equivalent 27 watt) compact fluorescent light bulbs, burning on average 5 hours per day, we would save 22 gWh per day - or enough energy saved to shut down 17 power plants. If the State bought these lamps for every household at $2 each, total cost would be $120 million. Could we build the same 17 power plants for $120 million? Not by a long shot!, book: Fuel Savers by Bruce N. Anderson

~~}If every household in California replaced 1 average-flow showerhead with an energy saving showerhead we would save 1.3 kwh per day per household or 19.2 gWh per day - or enough energy saved to shut down another 15 power plants. If the State bought these low flow shower heads for every household at $1 each, total cost would be $15 million. Could we build the same 15 power plants for $1 million each? Hardly!

~~}If every household in California installed a solar hot water heater which saves 5.8 kwh/day, we would cumulatively save 87 gWh/day - or enough energy saved to shut down another 67 power plants.

Note: if most of the above technologies were used for buildings and homes, energy used in our country would be drastically reduced.
Our country would be able to reduce its energy use to the point that many fossil fuel energy generating plants and nuclear power plants could be closed.

Furthermore, what little energy would be needed, could easily be generated by using Local renewable energy technologies.

Below are listed additional technologies for reducing energy use and for reducing the use of nuclear power, oil, coal and other fossil fuels in our economy.

The various sustainable technologies are improving rapidly and becoming more effective and affordable.

Due the rapid changes and improvements, this resource list does not cover all technologies or the latest improvements in existing sustainable technologies.
The resource list is just a tip of the iceberg in listing the creative innovations going on around the world.

Some the best new technologies are coming from small business, versus coming from large corporations.

If our country has the political will, it can survive the peak oil aftermath.

Additionally, the sooner the various sustainable technologies are incorporated into our economy, the easier the transition will be.

What are we waiting for? Do not allow the fossil corporations and their political cronies to defeat us.

Our grandchildren's future is in our hands. Do not give up.

MORE JOBS and ECONOMIC GROWTH
Per the Wisconsin Energy Bureau, locally generated renewable energy (solar water heating, solar pool heating, solar building heating, solar daylighting, solar electric, wind, micro-hydro, organic vegetable diesel fuel, solar-hydrogen fuel cells, wind-hydrogen fuel cells, wave-hydrogen fuel cells, tidal power, Geothermal Hydronic heating and cooling, organic farming and gardening) creates THREE TIMES more jobs and economic growth in local economies than using imported fossil fuel or imported energy from other regions.

Keep our country strong like a rock!

Please support LOCALLY generated and LOCALLY owned renewable energy systems

THERMAL MASS HEAT STORAGE
Some European manufactures use the floor for thermal mass heat storage. This can keep the building warm for three to seven days if electricity is lost or there are many cloudy days in a row or if there is little daylight during the winter.

One method is to put a layer of insulation on the ground, using the same insulation that is used for the Monolithic Dome, see  http://www.monolithicdome.com. A three foot (one meter) layer of sand is placed over the insulation. In the sand is placed the hydronic radiant floor heating system or hot water pipes. Then the flooring system is placed on top of the sand.

A deeper base of sand may be used to obtain more thermal mass for areas of extreme cold. The hot water heats up the thermal mass of sand allowing the retained heat to keep the building warm if electricity is lost or there are many cloudy days.

An additional option for multi story buildings is to place one foot (1/3 meter) of sand between upper level floors and to place additional hydronic heating pipes in the sand. A floor systems is placed on top of the sand. The building has to be built extra strong to withstand the additional weight of the sand sub-flooring. Some manufactures use the steel framing method for homes and buildings to obtain the strength needed for the additional weight of the sand. See  http://www.tri-steel.com for steel homes and buildings.

WATER BATTERY
economical energy storage for developing countries and for remote sites:
Use a Ram Pump to pump water to an elevated storage tank. Then use the gravity of the water in the storage tank to generate electricity by utilizing a Micro-Hydro generator. Note, this method is being used by New Zeland farmers.

LED Signs - Efficiency, Safety and Durability
16.04.2008 - 15:29
LED lighting and sign products provide significant safety and durability advantages, in addition to the efficiency benefits. LED's run on low voltage circuitry reducing the dielectric hazards that conventional lighting systems create. Also, LED lighted systems generally do not generate anywhere near the heat of an incandescent lighted system. Subsequently, the risk of combustion due to heat or spark is greatly reduced. For more information on the benefits of LED's and LED display sign products, visit LED SIGN DISPLAYS

Eco friendly wood homes are made of different types of wood. Most of the eco friendly wood homes are made using the "Dry Dead Standing trees". As the name indicates, this type of wood used in constructing the log homes will be of very poor quality. Though many log home manufacturers claim using the "Dry Dead Standing trees" as the cheapest and best option, this is simply untrue. The true fact is that though the log homes made from "Dry Dead Standing trees" needs low initial investments, the maintenance cost of these log homes will be very high. Getting log home constructed using the "Dry Dead Standing trees" will end up in a lifetime of repairs and maintenance.architects in bangalore , interior designers in Bangalore , interior designers in Bangalore , architects in bangalore , architects in bangalore , interior designers in bangalore

If every household in California replaced 4 (average 100 watt) incandescent light bulbs with 4 (equivalent 27 watt) compact fluorescent light bulbs, burning on average 5 hours per day, we would save 22 gWh per day - or enough energy saved to shut down 17 power plants. If the State bought these lamps for every household at $2 each, total cost would be $120 million. Could we build the same 17 power plants for $120 million? Not by a long shot!, book: Fuel Savers by Bruce N. Anderson
