What are your experiences using CFL energy saver light bulbs?
1. I'm interested in knowing how much savings on your energy bill... insignificant or quite noticeable.
2. Have you experienced anything negative in comparison to the regular light bulbs?
3. What were your reasons for buying the light bulbs? Cheaper energy bill? Reduce green house gases causing global warming? or Trendy?
I bought some to help with being an energy efficient household. They don't seem to have too much of an impact on our bills, but then again, most of our energy consumption comes from heating our house in winter, and we don't need a lot of light in summer since it is daylight until 9ish (Canada).
I did find some serious negatives - they should never be used in low wattage closed ceiling lights - there was a weird burning smell, and we took them out, a few weeks later someone we know had a fire from them. So, only use them in lights that are not closed completely - like a stand up lamp, or a ceiling light that just has a cover.
Waste-conversion startup Sanergy bowls over competition (MIT)
A team of students with a toilet and a dream won this year’s grand prize, as
well as the audience-choice award, in MIT’s 21st annual $100K Business Plan
Competition.
Sanergy, the finalist in the emerging-markets track, beat out 280 teams with
its plan for an innovative form of low-cost, energy-converting sanitation.
Throughout the competition, Sloan School of Management MBA candidates David
Auerbach and Ani Vallabhaneni refined their pitch, which they presented at the
competition’s finale on Wednesday night.
Auerbach and Vallabhaneni opened with a question to the audience: “Who here
has used a clean toilet today?” They then outlined the critical need for
clean, affordable sanitation in African slums.
Sanergy’s solution: a low-cost toilet facility that separates waste to be
collected and converted to biogas and organic fertilizer. Within five years,
the team hopes to provide facilities to more than 500,000 Africans, generating
7.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and 11,000 tons of fertilizer.
Later in the evening, Sanergy’s pitch garnered the most votes from the crowd,
winning the team the audience-choice award and an additional $5,000 dollars.
Sanergy took home a total of $120,000, which it plans to put toward building
and implementing up to 60 toilets throughout ...
