The average home in the U.S. spends $2,200 on energy each year. That’s $183/month. Rather than spending this money on energy purchases, the smart approach is to invest it in greater energy efficiency. If you’re building a new home, it’s possible to reduce your energy purchases to zero with the buying power gained from that same $183. Here’s how it works. If you have a 30-year mortgage at about 4.2%, you can cover the additional payments on an increase in your loan of about $37,500 for energy saving features for your home. That’s enough to turn most home designs into zero energy homes, before incentives. Federal and state tax credits along with utility incentive...

There’s no doubt about it, the “green economy” has gone global, as more and more sustainable-minded individuals and organizations have embraced the notion of a clean, environmentally friendly economy that promotes health, wealth, and well-being. The green economy is a thriving economy, as well—with overall global trade in environmental goods pegged at $1 trillion annually, a figure that should grow to $2-to-$3 trillion by 2020, according to United Nations Environment.

The past few decades saw huge developments in the use of solar power. These grid panels can use solar energy and turn it into electricity. Many neighborhoods have at least one house with solar panels installed on the roof.

Someone may have passed by your house offering solar panels for your home. These solar company representatives can be found just about everywhere. You may not have explored the use of solar power for your home since you are not familiar with how the whole system works. You may have also thought it is expensive.

Many people feel the same way. They are not using solar energy simply because they are not sure how much they have to spend on it. They may also be wondering when the...

Reemplazar los electrodomésticos de alta energía con versiones más eficientes

Comprar electrodomésticos con la etiqueta ENERGY STAR asegurará que los electrodomésticos grandes, como el lavavajillas, la secadora y la lavadora, utilicen la menor cantidad de energía. Los electrodomésticos cumplen con una variedad de estándares antes de recibir la prestigiosa etiqueta. Además, el funcionamiento de estos aparatos después de las horas pico de demanda puede reducir aún más la tensión en la red.

Purchasing appliances with an ENERGY STAR label will ensure that large appliances like the dishwasher, dryer and washing machine are using the least amount of energy. Appliances stand up to a variety of standards before receiving the prestigious label. In addition, operating these appliances after peak demand times can further reduce strain on the grid.

Install a Programmable Thermostat

Known for saving money, programmable thermostats allow homeowners to create a schedule that follows a family’s routine. Thermostats can be adjusted during the seasons to heat and cool when it makes the most sense instead of constantly working to maintain a specific temperature.

Texas produce más electricidad que cualquier otro estado, por lo que los tejanos se sorprendieron en febrero pasado cuando la tormenta invernal Uri cerró repentinamente la mayor parte de la red eléctrica del estado. Los productores de energía de Texas no habían climatizado adecuadamente las plantas de gas natural, las turbinas eólicas y otros sitios de producción de energía para soportar las temperaturas extremadamente frías. Muchos de ellos dejaron de funcionar, requiriendo apagones continuos en algunas áreas y dejando a otras sin electricidad durante días.

Pero el "gran congelamiento" de Texas fue solo el úl...
