There are some triggering events which spike the energy bill and even though generally speaking there a few such events, unfortunately by the time we feel their effects it’s too late to try and do anything about them. If you perhaps have kids who are living away from home at boarding school or uni, for […]

Well, the short answer is yes, it is indeed possible to live completely off the grid, but I’m pretty sure you want to know a whole lot more about how one can realistically go about doing it. While technically speaking living off the grid completely implies complete independence from the electricity which is supplied via […]

Going greener with one’s energy consumption and energy sources isn’t merely one of those tree-hugger movements sweeping the world as the latest fad. It’s highly imperative for you as an individual to resolve to at least give some thought to doing your bit to reduce your carbon footprint, because in the very near future this […]

In fact, from the honest point of view of an eager insider, alternative energy sources […]

Whenever I watch some TV shows which feature people searching for new homes to move into, I just can’t help conducting a little energy efficiency analysis on the fly, from the little I can pick up of course. One particular show of this kind I really like is House Hunters International, and in most cases, […]

With this particular topic and in this particular instance I have no qualms at all about being considered to be a bit of a conspiracy theory loon, quite simply because I stand firm on my belief that fracking is in no way a solution to our energy needs. The conspiracy-entertaining part comes into play from […]
There is no doubt about the fact that our homes are getting smaller and smaller, with each new home built in this day and age covering a considerably smaller surface area than the average home built a mere 10 or 20 years ago, but when it comes to environmental impact considerations, smaller homes are more […]
