Thanks for sharing! I've been reading a lot about this and I also bumped into this article entitled: More builders crafting net-zero homes and caught my attention a while ago. Well, it's true that power bills are annoying. Nobody really likes them, but unless one is willing to live without electricity, there's little one can do about them. There are an increasing number of builders setting up “net zero” homes which generate their own power.Apparently,solar power is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the global energy market.Awesome!Hail to Mr. Sun!

Good post on LEDs for home use:

For now 120V Edison base is where most of the good, affordable lamps seem to be. I haven't tried the re-emitters but some of the other spot lamps are amazing.
