Measure Your Energy Savings

You may have already seen the excellent film, "Kilowatt Ours," which manages in just under an hour to demonstrate the environmental consequences of traditional energy sources such as coal and nuclear, the benefits of clean-energy sources, and most importantly, specific steps that are being taken by homeowners, business owners, and municipalities to save energy.  From energy-efficient schools and LED stoplights to installation of geothermal, solar water heaters, and CFLs, the film gives real-life examples of people who are not only reducing their use, but saving thousands of dollars (or in the case of businesses and towns, tens of thousands of dollars) in the process. 

One of the latest developments on the Kilowatt Ours website is the "Green Energy Stewardship Program."  It is a worksheet that will help you measure the impact of various energy-saving steps you take.  Check out the website, and start saving!
