The Energy Efficient Home and Why You Should Have One

It makes sense to have a Denver energy efficient home and to use solar power if possible. The Earth only gets about 2 Billionth of the energy of the Sun, but that is enough to divide amongst all the homes on the surface of the planet. It is wise for people to get an energy audit, perhaps some infrared photos to see where they are wasting energy. Solar Chimneys are another good idea.

Most of all people need to get into the habit of efficiency and not wasting anything. We need folks to participate in recycling and solar power in the home. Indeed, those who partake in smarter energy solutions for their home will be thinking about other environmental issues too, which our Online Think Tank was recently reminded of. That is a good call indeed, good point.

Of course with any great energy source there are always drawbacks. For instance we are concerned with the batteries that will be needed for solar cell energy storage and where will all those batteries end up? In the bottom of the ocean, I hope not.

There are many ways we can reduce our pollution signatures, how about: "Ocean Wave Energy" and what is your take on Nuclear Energy? Hydro-electric is problematic in some places due to droughts, for instance in Australia.

Perhaps if everyone does their part and we could indeed see some progress and really we have, even corporations and businesses are thinking about energy efficient buildings. There are a lot of interesting "Green Roof Top" initiatives, I believe it will very much help in Urban Heat, rooftops make up a large area in cities. Efficient energy starts at home, so please do your part okay?
