Beware Easy Solutions

It's recently occured to me that my site, business and/or promotional efforts could easily be mistaken for a scam.  I'm not a believer in free energy, magic boxes, or techniques that require no effort, but lots of money.

I hate to be a wise guy, but in order to use less energy, you actually need to use less energy: replace old devices with newer, more efficient ones, stop using(unplug) devices that provide minimal utility or whose function could be reproduced "the old fashioned way"(like using a broom on a hard floor instead of a vacuum on carpet), or by using devices less often(turn up the thermostat in summer).

Any energy saving idea that doesn't involve one of those 3 principles should be looked at sceptically.

Several coworkers asked me about a "magic box" that was being advertised on the radio(KTAR).  I googled it, found a bunch of irate electricians mocking it, and told my coworkers to save their money.

Here's a great blog post from a site I just found.  I'll put it in the Links section, too.
