Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Power rationing and personal electricity generation

Ill give a more wholistic approach. First, do an audit of energy
consumption. Discard those 40bob bulbs for their 18w equivalents. (for
a modest 2br house, thats a saving of about 1000w, and more battery
life. )
second, get rid of crt monitors for lcd or plasma on your comp and tv.
Then look at other devices and try to cut down on peak power as much
as possible.


I hear that plasma tvs use require more power that CRTs? Is this true?
