I guess what I mean is, what would the effects be if we use it to extremes. People talk about saving energy a lot by doing things such as unplugging lamps/chargers etc that you’re not using, turning of lights, using blackle… But I can honestly say that I’m not 100% sure why I do these things. Thanks for any answers. Have a good day 
How many energy saving light bulbs do we need to make a difference?
What groups of people are against saving energy, and are against saving global warming? And what are their reasons for not wanting to help save the earth?
It is to help with the research for my Citizenship GCSE. We have to show both sides of the argument. I am not a tree-hugging hippie, thank you very much.
I need to know what the positives are of saving energy.
I know only 2 positives of saving energy (using less electricity): we are saving the earth and costs less energy.
I heard that they use a kick of energy when you first switch them on, then use a lot less while they stay on. Is the initial amount more than, say a normal 60w bulb? If so, what is the length of time where the two use the same amount of energy? This isn’t an exam question – I just want to know if it is worth using energy-saving bulbs where they are used frequently for short periods of time – cupboards, bathrooms etc.
I heard the energy saving light bulbs last longer than the regular light bulbs but a couple of people have told me that they really didn’t notice a difference in their electric bill. I am trying to see if it is worth spending more money for the energy saving light bulbs or just stick with using the regular light bulbs.
I’d like to hear some of things people are really doing to save energy and how much energy are you saving? I would like to know in Watts, Joules, BTU’s ect.
I need some tips for saving energy in my home, I want to help save energy to save money and not so much pollution in my area.
Thank you all so much I like some of your answers there very interesting. Hope more people can answer my question.
I’m just curious about (roughly) how much money you can save per month by switching to energy saving lightbulbs. If you change 5 or 6 bulbs, about how much money do you think I could save per month?
I am looking to start making my home a little more greener. As i live in a rental property and can not make major changes to the home.So i am looking for energy saving tips.Just to start out with.
Dose it take more energy to wash out a ziplock bag that it dose to make a new one?
this is for an electricity essay. How can we change methods of electricity production and how such changes would be benificial to your personal, regional, and national well-being? thank you so much if you could help me out on this one!
never mind what i said up ther. please tell me how wind and solar power would be beneficial to your personal, regional, and national well-being. Thaks!!!
Pick one new simple idea or a new slant on an old one to save energy..
as simple as turning things off stand-by and turning off lights when not in a room
and please, no people telling me to not bother to save energy.
any ideas??
why is saving energy so important for the earth?
Minesto develops a new concept for tidal power plants called Deep Green. Deep Green is based on a fundamentally new principle for electricity generation from tidal currents. The power plant is applicable in areas where no other known technology can operate cost effectively due to its unique ability to operate in low velocities. Minesto expands the total marine energy potential and offers a step change in cost for tidal energy. The principle of the technology can be explained as a two stage process. The first stage increases the relative flow speed entering a turbine. When the tide hits the wing it creates a lift force, since the kite is mounted to the ocean bed with a tether and is controlled by a rudder, the kite can be taken in the desired trajectory, here in an eight formed path. The method increases the flow velocity into the turbine by 10 times, compared to the actual stream velocity. The second stage uses a generator to convert kinetic energy into electrical power. The net result is increased power from a smaller package. The planned normal full size weighs only 7 tons excluding anchoring which gives an energetic payback time of 3 weeks, compared to 8 months for onshore wind. The test confirms power production of the plant at Marin in Holland.
At night before I go to bed I shut my computer down, but during the day what could I do when I’m not using the computer? Does sleep, hibernate or standby save more energy?

Ok I need some tips on saving energy here are some questions:
Is there a surge protector that is energy efficient?
How can I save energy while on the computer?
Please give me more tips as well!!
Thanks
