I'll begin working on a post soon! CFLs vs LEDs is a very interesting debate. I appreciate the link! John, That’s a great suggestion! I’ll begin working on a post soon!

CFLs vs LEDs is a very interesting debate. I appreciate the link!

It may be worth adding another energy-saving area- cutting down heating losses through badly-sealed windows, doors, lighting and exhaust fan holes in the ceiling. The discussion of Compact Flourescent Lights vs. LEDs is interesting- with the balance swinging dramatically to the new generation of LEDs.

LED's are brilliant. They're bright, last forever, don't break and will save electricity. Good addition! I’d have to agree with you there Wayne. LED’s are brilliant.

Good addition!

Well, # 6 may be a little extreme and the batteries need to be properly disposed of. Alarm clocks are also minimal loads in a home. However, I've stopped encouraging compact fluorescent lamps because they have mercury in them. Most people either are not aware of this or do not care and improperly dispose of these lamps. I have to honestly say though, my house is full of compact fluorescent lamps. I've started recommending LEDs. LEDs are a little more effiecient than a compact fluorescent lamp and they do not have mercury in them. A couple of down sides to a LED is the up front cost and the light is more focused, like a spot light. This is a good list and I agree with all 10 points.
