The need to reduce energy use is becoming increasingly obvious. There are a number of factors, including climate change, the increasing cost of fuel, the fact that most Oil reserves are controlled by despotic and dangerous governments who shouldn't be provided with large amounts of money, and the health impact of non-renewable energy sources. Even without the increasing egergy use in developing countries there are serious problems with global supply and global pollution.

I have started compiling ideas on how to save energy without effort. This means saving energy without compromising your lifestyle (or even while improving it).

If you run many computers, run computers 24*7, or run computers on hot days then you will be interested in saving electricity use on your computers. This page has information on the power use of machines I own. I performed all the measurements myself.

The Toyota Prius is the most exciting fuel saving vehicle on the market. There are a variety of other hybrid vehicles to choose from but the Prius has the best combination of features. By many objective measures (including comfort and safety) the Prius compares well to the best cars on the market. See this page for more information.
