  Real Savings

  The problem is not about individuals, its about understanding solutions that provide real energy savings in the near term so that we see changes, and are motivated to do more.  I keep hearing about the need for a "Manhattan Project" style objective.  That is a find approach when there is really no other solution, but let's go for some real savings now.  We know that CFL's have an impact, how do we get more people to recognize that?

  Also, companies like www.gridlogix.com and the Texas A&M energy group (look up Re-Commissioning or see www.machine2enterprise.com) have solutions that can reduce energy usage in an average commercial building by 10-20% by optimizing the control software in the building.  Across the nation that would result in reducing consumption of 500M barrels of oil/yr and the CO2 output of 25M cars.

  I think we should focus on real solutions.
