Yes, there is a warning about this on the WGES site, but if you sign up with them by phone like I did, then please listen carefully as the operator whisks over all the disclosures.

Green Energy Blog : Tipping Points and Gaia's Defence Tactics

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:43:31 +0000

Oil at $ 113 / barrel? Remember those days?

Now people are blaming hoarders like investment houses for causing the price rise, making consumers complacent as if prices won\\\'t rise again in the near future.

This has resulted in recovered SUV and light truck prices, as their market demand returned due to short-sighted automobile consumers flocking to heavier, less fuel-efficient vehicles.

But wait - we still haven\\\'t felt the impact of Chinese and Indian car companies bringing incredibly cheap vehicles to their gigantic markets, making automobiles affordable to a larger segment of their populations.

The tar sands in Canada will not save us from the next jump in oil prices. Mexico is slowly running low on reserves too, and don\\\'t expect Brazil\\\'s deep-water discovery to be available any time soon.

Be ready for the next energy crisis, which will be exacerbated by a devalued dollar caused by huge government deficits.

These are not scare tactics. We just want you to be prepared.

You got 3 points for posting that comment. They get added when I approve the comment.

However, you do not qualify for the contest because you are my daughter and underage. (Yes I set her up in the contest as a test, so don\\\'t worry if she wins because then the prize will go to the next highest point winner.)

Also, there will probably not be any more solar panels given away, but we are considering giving away LED lighting, smart meters (expensive!) and other valuable prizes which save energy.

It\\\'s easy to join. Get instructions at:

Green Energy Blog : Motor Controllers or Power Factor Controllers - Which Saves More Energy?

Yes it is Ian Wrigley of Enigin! That proves the amount of experience the Enigin team carries in the energy saving business!

We even beat this company\\\'s pricing: http://www.ledliquidatorsinc.com/led_fluorescent_... Even though they say on their front page that nobody beats their pricing! Our T8 LEDs are UL listed with a 5 year warranty. Please feel free to order samples - the warranty protects you against product defects. I personally prefer the warm colors - the daylight bulbs are a little too blue/white.

Green Energy Blog : Laurel Boys and Girls Club Plugs into Energy Saving Program

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 05:14:12 +0000

Hello Paul, Thanks for your order. If you need help configuring the real-time energy portal, you can purchase the remote configuration assistance via the same site you bought the Eniscope. The direct URL is: http://www.marylandgreenpower.com/eniscope.html The stand-alone Eniscope is on sale for much less than a complete Energy Maps system and consultancy would sell for. Note that we also offer financing up to 5 years for this product. The ACES is not currently on sale as a stand-alone energy saving air conditioner controller, but is sold as a load-side solution under the Enigin energy saving guarantee, which is part of the Energy Maps program. If you want to test the ACES, we can send you one if you send us $ 140 via PayPal to cover materials and domestic US shipping to PayPal address: dmeizys@marylandgreenpower.com However, we will not market the ACES solution on the Web. The iMEC HFE27 is a single phase motor soft starter which can easily save up to 18% (the manufacturer claims up to 40%) on small single phase motors. Specifications and ordering information are available at: Wholesale iMEC motor soft starting controller pricing By reading the article at that link you will see that the iMEC is an active motor controller with an energy optimizing function, which will also improve power factor. It dynamically adjusts its operation to the size and characteristics of the motor being controlled, something that the Power-Save 1200 does not do. At less than 1/2 the price of a Power-Save 1200, comparing wholesale pricing to wholesale pricing, it is truly a bargain. Finally, you will never see an engineer write an article doubting the effectiveness of motor soft starting, as opposed to the many blog posts and even news programs which cast doubt on those over-priced boxes of capacitors called \\\"power factor correction devices.\\\" As a reminder, power factor correction devices do not do anything to reduce a residential customer\\\'s power bill, and any bills showing \\\"proof\\\" to the contrary should be examined with skepticism, taking into consideration the many other factors which can affect the monthly power bill. (This is a great application for the Eniscope - run a power measuring experiment comparing power factor correction devices vs motor controllers. Note that a simple handheld ammeter will only show total amps, a meaningless metric since billing is done in kWh, while amperes multiplied by voltage is kVA and includes the non-billed reactive power component.) Buyer beware!

Green Energy Blog : Asbestos Tips and Going Green in the Home

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 13:24:37 +0000

Again, the following website spams us: http://www.coloradoasbestoslawyers.net/ It\\\'s hard to believe that a law firm would send a spam bot to advertise \\\"Colorado Asbestos Lawyers.\\\" My web visitor logs show that this spam bot does a search for \\\"asbestos\\\" or similar terms, then leaves pointless messages like the one above with a link back to the site above. I removed the link in the spam comments so they would not receive the benefit of the spam and put the link here to associate the URL with spamming. Would you want to utilize the services of a lawyer who finds clients by spamming? Colorado Asbestos Lawyers = spammers. We invite a reply from a human at Colorado Asbestos Lawyers.

Green Energy Blog : Quickly Replace Your HID Lighting with LEDs

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:56:06 +0000

Replacing fluorescent T8\\\'s with LEDs is easy - just removed the ballast from your fixture and wire hot to one end and neutral to the other end of the fixture. It does not matter which end goes where. Then, pop the LED T8 in just like a fluorescent light bulb. I\\\'ve seen it done in 5 minutes. Please contact us for pricing based on length, wattage and quantity required.

Correction: iMEC costs only 1/3 the price of a Power-Save 1200 or KVAR unit and provides real motor control and an energy optimizing mode.
