I KNEW OBAMA WAS LIEING...HIS LIPS WERE MOVING. JUST LAST WEEK HE TOLD THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT HE WAS DOING EVERYTHING HE COULD TO INCREASE OIL PRODUCTION. THAT WAS A LIE. HE TRIED TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THE PART OF THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE THAT WOULD BE FINISHED. HE TRIED TO KILL THAT TOO AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ITS COMPLETITION. IT WAS STARTED BEFORE HE GOT IN OFFICE. HE ALSO TOOK CREDIT FOR INCREASED OIL PRODUCTION, HE LIES. HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH INCREASED OIL PRODUCTION

OBAMAS EPA KILLING JOBS

How to locate phantom loads or vampire loads using the Kill a Watt power monitor.

ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND EPA MOVING IN WRONG DIRECTION. MOST WIND FARMS ARE NOT PROVIDING ANY AFFORDABLE ENERGY AND 14,400 WIND GENERATORS HAVE BEEN ABANDONED IN THE US.

The incandescent lightbulb that wastes 90% of the electricity as heat is dying, we all know that. But a new breakthrough in solid state lighting might also kill compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) faster than some expected. Scientists at Purdue University have figured out how to manufacture LED solid-state lights on regular metal-coated silicon wafers (more details below). What this means is: much lower costs.

Scientists at The Nature Conservancy in Montana have completed the first analysis of where wind generation facilities can be located with minimal risk to the state's wildlife and the environment. Wind provides great promise for a clean and renewable source of energy, but each year wind generation facilities kill tens of thousands of birds and important pollinators such as bats. . And yet, wind energy development has moved forward with very little science-based analysis that might help prevent this kind of environmental harm. The impacts of wind generation are greater than just the immediate airspace. Most turbines take up 40-100 acres of land, so large-scale wind farms can span thousands of acres. Each facility also requires roads and transmission corridors.

OK...gas prices are getting out of hand, and carbon emissions have been out of hand for a long time. So let's kill two birds with...well...five stones. We generally focus on high-technology here at EcoGeek, and how we can save energy with smart designs. But sometimes, there are simpler ways. In fact, an absolutely tremendous amount of gasoline could be saved in America with some very simple measures. We break it all down and figure out how much gas can be saved with some stupidly simple techniques.
