Lets all be environmentally friendly!

Some green things:
- if you know you’re going to be away from your computer for only a few hours, turn it on hibernate, don’t turn it off. Turning your computer on and off really used up a lot of energy
- cleaning gets rid of dust mites that are air pollutants (make sure to use natural cleaners [pine oil])
- 1/4 baking soda, 1/2 vinegar can clean your drain (don’t use unnatural chemicals)
- buy in bulk
- make a compost bin with non acids (vegetables work well)
- only buy things within a 500 mile radius. The energy is takes to transport goods is rediculous
- a full fridge saves energy
- don’t use non bio degradable packaging like bubble wrap or beans
- buy sustainable materials (natural laytex, wool, down feathers, horsehair, buckwheat, cotton [watch for pesdicides], hemp, natural linoleum, stone, and silk [be careful where you get it from, Indian countries have started burning silk worms alive to get them to secrete more silk], wood, ceramic tile, bamboo [local], concrete, cork)
- spider plants take pollutants out of the hair (brown tips mean it’s working)
- TV should be 10-15′ away from your bed (radiation)

Demographics 1 billion new consumers. Emerging markets growth and demand for commodities / resources / paper and cardboard. Growth of emerging middle class and paper products growth. Oil price rises, growing populations, food supply, growth of meat eaters, shortage of grain, rice, wheat, soya. Energy shortage and conservation. Developed world population decline — eg Germany, small families and ageing population, decline unless migration / immigration. France, Portugal, Spain, UK demographic challenges in European Union. Expect huge immigration, populations shifts. Video on future of paper and packaging industry by Patrick Dixon, author Futurewise, conference keynote speaker.

Produce Affordable Renewable Energy to Utterly Slash your Energy Bill

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

http://EnergyForHome.net
Stop paying your energy bills and throwing money out of the window. Learn how to make solar panels for home use for a very small and affordable investment! Learn how thousands of people worldwide have slashed their electric bills by 80% and at times completely eliminated them by using these best DIY Solar Power Guides on the planet, that have step by step instructions and videos that even a novice teenager can follow to make solar electric panels. Visit http://EnergyForHome.net Now!

This is not “How to make PV Solar Cells”.
It is possible to home-make Copper Oxide and other kinds of materials but that is a whole nother story which I may do in the future.
I may be a little bit ambitious to try to show you how I made PV Solarpanels out of various types of cells I collected and how and where I obtained them rather inexpensively

Will PV Get Rid Of My Electric Bill Or Do I Still Pay?

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

http://www.solardave.com/index.php/do-solar-panels-totally-eliminate-my-electric-bill-video/
SolarDave: Let’s say I produce the same amount of energy that I consume, do I still owe Xcel Energy any money?

Sam Weaver: That is a good question. That is based around Xcel’s policy and the answer is yes you will just owe them just the service to your home. At the very least you are going to owe them what has just gone up to $7.25 (per month) from about $6.50 a month.

So there is a monthly charge just to have the meter at your home and for them to provide service.

If you were to exactly match your power production to your power usage during the year totally perfect and you would owe them any more than that.

But the truth is that they start their billing cycle in December. In December your solar panel is going to produce the least it is ever going to produce during the year, so January 1st you may not exactly meet the usage for that month and then send you a bill for that month based on the net import that you had – then as you go through the year you finally get in to the periods of better sunshine and you save month after month and the summer you are not actually paying anything and you are building up a forward balance. They roll it forward, but they don’t roll it backwards.

So sometimes in the winter months you will have to pay and you will hit the summer months you won’t pay anything and then you come to the end of the year and you produce a surplus and they pay you the wholesale rate for the surplus.

SolarDave: So let’s say I am buying from Xcel at 9 cents a kilowatt hour what do they pay back?

Sam Weaver: 4.5 cents a kilowatt hour.

So if you exactly match the energy production for a year so there will still be a residual bill to it. It will not completely wipe out the bill – but it will take out the bill at today’s rates as they were raised in April at 9.5 a kilowatt hour is the avoided cost.

So that is one reason not to oversize any one system of the customer, if the system is over sized for their use, you know their pay back time goes down quite a bit. We try to pay close attention to the customer the best system that will work for them.

Sometimes that means working with the customer to guesstimates, they might want to install a plugin hybrid in the future – they might say I want to have it a little bit big now for a couple of years because I know I am going to transition to this heat pump or I am going to transition to a plug-in hybrid (car). We will work with them to guesstimate.

You don’t want to do these things twice because you can save money if you put the right size inverter in the first time.
