Near term: –Conservation measures Mid term: –Hybrid, flexible fuel, ethanol & methanol, bio-diesel, better batteries Long term: –Transitioning to the hydrogen economy The Road Ahead
11
Near Term - Conservation The average US family could save 25 % -- up to $400 a year on its power bill. Replace old bulbs with Compact Florescent Lighting (CFL) – saving up to $74 over the life of the bulb and last 8-10 times as long Un-plug chargers or plug them into a power strip you can switch off. Set your thermostat comfortably high in the summer and comfortably low in the winter Adjust your water-heater to 120°F Properly inflate tires, keep trunk empty, observe speed limit. - each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas
