10. The benefits of using less electricity are:
A. Lower electric bills
B. Makes it easier to transition to renewable energy.
C. Reduces your carbon footprint.
D. All of the above
Answer: D. All of the above!
There are lots of painless ways to use less electricity at home, such as changing your incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescents, zapping phantom loads and many others.
Taking these steps will reduce your electric bill and your contribution to global warming immediately. It's also one of the first steps many experts recommend you take if you're interested in purchasing a home solar or wind system down the road. The reason is that it's usually much less expensive to make these energy saving changes and purchase a smaller renewable energy system, than to get the largest system necessary to meet all your needs before you've tried to reduce your electricity use.
