With demand for power booming, being more efficient at the plug end, in order to save energy at the power plant end is a philosophy known as the ‘negawatt”. Now it is more important than ever to save power at the plug end, because so much power is lost from its generation, through to its delivery.
It’s much more efficient to save power where you use it, as demand for power is only going to accelerate. If we save 1 kilowatt of power at the plug end, we end up saving 3 kilowatts in total, due to the power lost from generation, distribution and consumption! hhtp://bit.ly/perpetualgreen.net

Negawatts 
This post, along with the one above on Smart Grid being DOA, make a lot of sense….sadly. Ideally, I’ve always felt that the focus should be on production rather than consumption, because if we could get to the point of 100% renewable power there would be no need for conservation – this is not to say that efficiency should be ignored, but that demand for power should not be artificially abated. In today’s world, given the unlikely dawn of smart power, it is necessary to reduce consumption as efficiently as possible.
FYI, I’ll be bookmarking your blog. Good intentions will not translate into action on the major infrastructure changes necessary to get us where we need to be, and it’s worth being realistic, even if a bit cynical…
Exceptional internet site!
You need to take up the services of such HVAC contractors in Winston Salem that can give you commercial accounts facilities with reduced
prices. Typical servicing of the HVAC system will not only boost its lifespan, but in addition supply energy
savings through effective operating of the unit, and lowered repair
fees. Passing a Universal HVAC Certification Test allows
you to service all of the equipment in certification types 1-3.
