Have you ever thought about how much electricity you use, and…
…possibly reducing your usage?
Think about this:

In the very near future, citizens of Florida will have an opportunity…
…to show their opposition to oil drilling as close as 3 to 10 miles off the coast.

How to become a small-scale renewable energy producer
On December - 23 - 2009
Nationwide, electricity rates have increased an average of 4.4% per year over the past 35 years, twice that rate in some parts of the country.
Special Thanks to Melissa Upton for writing this blog post!
At the local level, Florida Power & Light (FPL) is asking for a $1.3 billion annual increase in base rates, which amounts to about $12.40 per month for the first 1,000-kilowatt hours used.

Today, I discovered this excellent article by National Geographic called “Plugging into the Sun”…
Photo is of photovoltaic panels in Spain
…and wow, it’s a really good!
It explains how sunlight provides us much more energy than we’d ever need – and slowly we’re starting to tap into it!

A must read – Hot, Flat and Crowded
On June - 5 - 2009
If you’re looking for a great read that discusses creating a sustainable future…
…I highly recommend reading Hot, Flat and Crowded by Thomas Friedman. You know may his other work, The World is Flat.
Here’s a description from Amazon:
“Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world’s middle class through globalization have produced a planet that is “hot, flat, and crowded.” Already the earth is being affected in ways that threaten to make it dangerously unstable. In just a few years, it will be too late to fix things–unless the United States steps up now and takes the lead in a worldwide effort to replace our wasteful, inefficient energy practices with a strategy for clean energy, energy efficiency, and conservation that Friedman calls Code Green.”
Let me know what you think!
