This Book, first written in 1974, started me upon a Lifetime Journey in the Energy Field. Without the foundations I learned from this I never would have been able to put such a complex subject into focus.
Energy is Everything, of course! But many don’t realize how true that statement really is. Our articles, pictures, calculators and discussions will try and address many of these topics in a way that most people can understand. The questions and subject are endless…
Should you Buy an Electric Car? Is it “Green” to do so?
Should you install Solar on your Home?
What is Efficiency and should you use it to compare Products and Services?
You won’t have long to wait – as Energy Primer Content is being created right now.
Yours in Efficient and Clean Energy,

Adjusting Expectations in Lifestyle
Some Americans complain they, unlike their parents and grandparents, are unable to afford a normal sized home. They forget that a “normal” sized home for the post-WWII years was 750-950 Square feet and lacked Granite Counter Tops, Multiple Bathrooms and other luxury items
Saving Energy and Resources is Key
Tt’s easier and cheaper to save energy we get from all sources than it is to earn (generate) energy from newer systems. It’s MUCH cheaper and more effective to insulate a home than to switch to an EV, etc.
Fossil Fuels
For generations our culture has been enjoying the benefits of a cheap,
easily available energy source . . . fossil fuels. Today, practically all of our
luxuries and necessities are totally dependent on coal, natural gas and oil.
The fact that reserves of these fossil fuels are limited has become a glaring reality for everyone.
On Dirty Nuke Power
–For a few generations of more easy energy we give to our future generations the consequences and burdens of plutonium and other nuclear wastes. We view this as
insanity.–
