Shifting our attitude is the first step, then following through with thoughtful action. - YNot Sat, 30 May 2009 23:32:49 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/2763#comment-27240 that makes the US bailout look small... - hyperspaced Thu, 28 May 2009 03:47:19 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/2763#comment-27133 Military is such a waste of energy. how much energy do you need to build and fuel a boat, a tank or a fighter plane? - enicao Sat, 23 May 2009 05:15:04 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/2763#comment-27131 By looking at prior usage rates and multiplying the reduction in fuel used by the current cost of fuel. - EV Sat, 23 May 2009 05:11:40 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/2763#comment-27124 Ok, $79 million divided by $13 billion = about 1/2 of 1 percent ... you might call that a drop in the bucket, and hardly statistically significant. Also how do you factor in the much lower cost of fuel during the first quarter of 2009? - John Rowell Fri, 22 May 2009 21:04:06 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/2763#comment-27123 Efforts in efficiency are the single best way to save carbon and save money. My heroes at the RMI have determined that if the rest of the country was as energy efficiency as New York and California then we could close 60 coal fired power plants.
