Worried about the high cost of energy and the constant increase in Energy Prices?

  Would you like to be able to ...

• Slash your electricity bills by 80% or eliminate your bills completely?
• Unplug your home from your electricity company?
• Be 100% powered by nature with renewable energy?

  If your energy bills are anything like mine you more than likely would like to be able to reduce them. The equation is relatively easy – the less we use the less we pay. There are ways to reduce our energy consumption using small easy to do steps. For me reducing my energy consumption will also reduce my energy storage needs when I finally go off grid. This article main aim is to provide you with easy to do steps to reduce some of your energy use.

  The world is faced with an energy crisis now and none of us remain unaffected anymore. I personally think that this crisis is artificial in order to force up the prices of energy and to exert control over us.

  I don’t think that we can expect anything from governments expect lip service. Government is more often than not part of the problem; for instance to tax component for a litre of diesel in the UK is 65%. The higher the price per litre of fuel the more money enters government coffers.

  Ultimately it is up to us to do something to reduce our energy needs and to generate our own energy to power our homes.

  It costs me on average £45.00 to fill up my car on a weekly basis. This means that my weekly contribution to government coffers is £29.25, which comes to £351.00. With three cars at home, as a family we contribute around £1053.00 to government coffers to get to work.

  Once electric cars have become efficient and are able to travel longer distances than they can at present without the need for constant charging and no longer cost the earth, I will definitely get one. Who knows we may even have cars that recharge themselves with solar cells incorporated in the body of the car.

  But what happens to our energy tax contribution to government coffers if this were the case. It probably explains their plan to try to charge us for every mile we drive instead of charging us road tax.

  So what can we do, if anything, to reduce our current level of energy requirements?

  There are some relatively easy steps can be taken to reduce our energy needs. However, we do need to consider the benefit of carrying out such energy saving measures. After all what good are they to you if you land up paying more than what you are already paying.

  One must balance the cost to benefit requirements for each element of our energy reduction programme.

  Quite a few cost saving measures mentioned below are associated to standby power. Standby power is also known as vampire power, vampire draw, phantom load, or leaking electricity, and refers to electric power consumed by electronic appliances while they are switched off or in a standby mode.

  So let us look at how you can save power at home.

• Computers:
  
  At the very least you should set the power settings on your computer to automatically go into Sleep or Standby mode after 15 minutes or so of inactivity. I adjust the power setting according to what I am doing after all if I am watching a movie I don’t want the computer to decide that it should go into sleep mode just because I havent touched my mouse or keyboard fo 15 minites.
  
  Turn your computer and its monitor off when you're done for the day.
  
  If you use a desktop, use an LCD monitor. They use lots less energy than CRT's.
  
  You could always use a power strip so that you can easily turn off all your computer accessories at once.
  
  I personally turn off my laptop along with all accessories off at the wall switch when I’m done for the day. As everything is connected together through a power strip I know that everything is switched off at the same time.



• Air Conditioner:
  
  Set the temperature at the maximum or minimum you are comfortable with, depending on the season. The operative word here is comfortable.
  
  Try not to set it at too high or too low temperatures.
  
  Setting the air conditioner at reasonable temperatures will help you save quite a bit of energy.
  
  Unfortunately for me, in our house, I’ve got to keep checking our thermostat as our teenagers keep changing the temperature levels to what they feel is right for them.



• Washing Machines:
  
  Minimize the number of washes by washing full load of clothes every time. Also, if washing machine packs up you could buy a new machine with a better energy rating than your old one had.
  
  You could also try to wash your clothing at a lower temperature setting or on a reduced wash cycle.



• Television:
  
  Switch off your television at the wall plug when not in use. This may not sound a big deal but this tiny step will help save power.



• Power adapters:
  
  Power adapters are very common "electricity vampires" as they have no power-off switches. These include mobile telephone chargers, electric toothbrush chargers and the like. I am quite sure that you may have touched one of these adapters when not in use and discovered that it was warm to the touch. Switch them off at the wall plug. Better yet, keep them unplugged until you need them.



• Geysers:
  
  Keep the geyser thermostat at the minimum heat. You do not need to heat the water at a very high temperature or for too long.



• Refrigerators and freezers:
  
  Bring hot food to room temperatures before putting it into the refrigerator. You can also save power by taking cold or frozen food out of the refrigerator much before the mealtime, thereby saving power in heating it.



• Car:
  
  For an air-conditioner equipped car, pull up the windows of your car before switching on the air-conditioner.



• And finaly:
  
  You could save on your energy bills by generating your own power at home through the use of solar and wind energy or zero point magnetic power generator to reduce or eliminate your power bill. Get yourself a good guide to build your own home micro power plant.

There are many solutions to produce renewable energy. However, most of the products are not designed to produce the electricity needed for home supply. They cost fortunes and are only usable in the corporate world.   Some companies have developed products for generating home wind power or solar power, but they cost $1,000s for only one product.   And this doesn't even include installation...   Luckily, I found the perfect place where you can discover how to have your own solar or wind power system for $200 or even less.   Countless tests were made in order to make this method work so well. And the best part is that this method can be used by anyone (even a 15-year old kid!)   Don't wait any longer. Start cutting your electricity bill now.   For more information Click on the link below:
