Improving the energy efficiency of your home can be done in ways that enable you to achieve additional goals:
Will you be prepared if oil and natural gas price increases really are serious, certain and soon? To review the evidence, go to: Oil Crisis and Natural Gas Crisis

| Everyone who depends on
oil, natural gas and other fossil fuels
should bring an open mind to
the accumulating evidence that fossil fuel supplies are limited and
that no adequate energy substitutes have yet been found.
Discussing the evidence about potential fuel shortages can be very scary. Being unprepared if severe fuel shortages occur could be even scarier. In the USA, most of our elected officials may remain reluctant to help solve our energy problems until a majority of voters become willing to keep energy consumption within natural limits. Rapid worldwide implementation of energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems can delay fossil fuel shortages, create millions of new jobs, and make us better prepared for the growing shortages of oil and natural gas. The best time to prepare for fuel shortages is NOW while we may still have sufficient fuels, time, metals, and other resources required to make the necessary preparations. |
We cannot all do great things,
but we can each do small things with love.

NOTE: You can reduce energy costs and improve air quality in your home. Use a ventilation system to bring in fresh filtered air, seal air leaks in the building's envelope, and control indoor air pressure. This will discourage mold growth, improve comfort, and improve energy efficiency. It will also make your home a safer shelter if a terrorist, or an accident, releases chemical, biological or radiological agents in your area.
Wisdom is knowing what should be done. Virtue is doing it.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift (maybe that is why we call today the present).
