Ever wonder where our country's energy comes from and goes to? This fascinating map from the Lawrence Livermore Labratory shows in simple graphic terms where we generate energy and how much of it goes to various sectors. One of the fascinating aspects of this is everything you see in gray--"Rejected Energy." What this really means is waste. Particularly in electricity, as much as 2/3 of all the energy created is lost during transmission and via other means before it actually does any work. All the more reason to generate your electricity right at home on your roof.

    I just received a call from a customer that I did a home energy audit for a year ago. They were in the process of remodeling and adding onto their home and wanted guidance on how to properly insulate and air seal the home. He just told me that they are getting a 40% reduction in their heat/electic bill! This is after a 40% INCREASE IN FLOOR AREA!! Now they are going to install solar panels and a wind turbine this summer. WAY TO GO GUYS!!
