Haim,

An incremental approach on energy efficiency like you suggest is right on, IMO. Also, I think it will happen on a large scale.

There are many technologies that are ready to make us more efficient now -- folks just need to be made aware.


Lighting is another area ... I like my compact flourescents. I don't have them throughout the house yet -- but at some pt will have a large percentage of them.

If they can make those LEDs reliable and a lot cheaper that will be a huge win. But they may never be cheap enough.

The stupidest energy use I ever saw was a guy that bought and ran a gasoline generator to heat water in an electric hotwater tank in his mobile home. Next most stupid was the same thing to run an electric heater, but at least that was during an emergency power outage. But when you can get 100% efficient kerosene heaters, that was pretty bad, too.
