Energy crisis is perhaps the most critical problem human civilization has ever faced. The discovery of energy (especially in forms of electrical energy and fuel) and channeling it for the development of human society was the quantum leap that science needed.
But now the energy store is at stake. Scientists predict that in near future, our energy godown of fuels will empty and even the production of electrical energy would be at stake because the main source of electrical energy is coal, which is not going to last anymore. So the only chance we have got is that we have to minimize the use of energy.
To achieve this goal, many energy saving devices were invented. These are able to minimize electric consumption as much as possible. Some of these are listed below.
Energy Saving Light Bulbs
Compact fluorescent lamps or CFL are the ones that save energy usage significantly. They can effectively save $30 worth of electricity costs over the lamp’s lifetime, which is greater by up to 8 to 15 times that of natural light bulbs. Widespread use of compact fluorescent lamps could reduce as much as 7% of total US usage of electricity. It also provides a faster startup than common lamps and much more efficiency.
Standby Savers
This is one of the most recommended energy saving devices available. Standby savers are designed to plug into one’s TV, DVD player, PC etc. and the device does not let them spend all day in standby mode. Typically most people are too lazy to turn off their TV or PC and they leave it in standby mode instead.
This allows them to be comfortable in exchange of costing them a lot, because what they do not realize that the TV, DVD player and PC are still on and are still costing them. A standby saver saves energy by automatically putting the devices into ‘off’ mode after some time.
Energy Usage Monitors
Energy usage monitors are energy saving devices in the sense that they calculate how much energy (and subsequently how much money) is being spent on which device. The device consists of a sensor and a monitor, where we can see the amount of money is being spent on a particular device. This is proven to a useful device by a survey where it was shown that usage of this device had saved up to 6.5% on an average household.
In terms of saving water energy bills there are many other energy saving products namely an eco shower, eco balls and eco buttons. These save water energy and also electrical energy.
Also solar energy can be used if consumption of conventional thermal electrical energy produces more billing. But so far, the amount of solar energy generation is too unrealistic to employ at large rates.
