In addition to this great article, I recommend triple pane R-5 windows. They are more expensive than your average window, but they save up to 40% of heat loss through the window.
I believe that eventually this will be the norm of all mid-level to high-end home and office construction. Although the cost is much higher per unit, but over time the energy savings will more than pay for the windows themselves. I assist my customers day in and day out with all their specialty wood needs as well as other types and I can tell you that all of them want to save money in their future energy costs. You have to figure that a house is an investment and you need to prepare for the future by choosing these windows as the price of everything is rising, so will the cost of electricity. Think of this as buying a hybrid vehicle versus a gas guzzling SUV with a V-8, you will expect to pay more up front but it will pay off over time in fuel savings.

Thanks,
David Williams

Good article. I feel if that instead of getting 100% from one person, we need everyone to just give 1% more to save.

Hehe, I always forget about the hot water when doing laundry and I really could use the extra money! My family wastes so much all the time and it is extremely rare that anyone of the notices it, I mean my son goes to the bathroom and flushes it for anything and everything, I believe that you should only flush it if someone has used it #2 (if you catch my drift). I am suprised and extremely happy about the amazing number of people, small businesses, and large companies that have stepped up to the plate when it comes to green living and stepping things up a notch. Even the government has been doing an extrodinary job the past few months and are constantely planning new techniques to save our plant. Great post, I believe that people like you are the reason why anyone cares about going green and saving resources at all, so commend yourself! Your doing a great job here, so keep it up!! I am looking forward to reading your ebook, I am checking out all of the details now, but I think I am going to buy it for sure. Anyways, have a good day.

I came backbecause a friends of mine just bought solar panels that are placed on roof of his house. I must say that in the sunny days they get free energy! That is right, but when it comes to more cloudy and rainy, it was not so well (thei are trying this almost 2 weeks). They did it because they were just curious, they’ll try it this summer and later in winter (in winter it is getting dark about 4 P.M.). We’ll see what will be the result of this try.

Yes, it is hard to believe that we have waited so long.

I totally agree that the sun is a potent source of renewable energy. As to why it is only now that people are actually harnessing this potential to solve the energy crisis baffles me a lot.

Well, at least we are now seeing a change in people’s mindset. Hopefully sooner, our energy needs will be addressed more by renewable sources rather than our over-dependence on non-renewable sources.

I thought about it actually. In Poland there is too little sun to make it profitable. If I lived in Spain or Greece it would be a great idea to have solar panels.

I always believe that the potential economic benefits on renewable energy is rather big. However, nobody wants to risks the cost of developing renewable energy is the core of the problem.

Comment on 5 Reasons to Use Home Solar Power Systems by Gareth (solar power)

6. Help your country. By adopting solar power, you will help the west in becoming independent from some of the less-than noble middle eastern oil producing countries.

Whilst I know this is highly political, the above is a major reason solar power is gaining so much political momentum
