The power and light calendar given to me from the utility company is suprizingly helpful with respect to certain technologies that would save me money. Do u think this technology could come with future appliances? kinda like hybrinate mode on computers, or computers that shut off after 25 minutes or so without being touched?
I definately think more of that hsould be installed. It is interesting, here in South Africa, we are about to enter a power crisis this winter (your summer) when our demand will exceed our maximum supply. Our single power utility company, ESKOM, is looking at a number of differnt ways to reduce load, and one of these is through radio-controller hot-wter cylinders, where the cylinders can be turned off during peak demand. Personally, will the huge sun resource we have in South Africa, we should convert to Solar Water Heating en masse!
Yea, there are specials i have seen on TV, if you build a house correctly, you can save so a lot of $ on utilities, such as having a pool of water under house, and warm it with all kinds of ideas, like summer heat, and then since its water, it tends to hold a lot of heat, so then only a limited amount of more heat is required to get it to a desirable temperature. Even in math class in college, basic college alegebra, we had a graph/equation thing that showed how initial costs might be high, but after 30 years, the benefi is great, $, clean and efficient.
