EnergyConsumption.org discusses watt meters and other energy-saving products. This wiki contains everything Soren hasn't yet been able to add to EnergyConsumption proper (that is to say, almost all of it). It is also, as the "users' wiki," a place for EnergyConsumption users to ask and answer questions, contribute ideas, and storm up fun and creative ways of getting at least as much out of life while using less energy.
This wiki is also the place to contribute your consumption data until EC proper has a database. If you have any related projects, shopping, or questions / observations, we'd love to have you contribute to the wiki. Your ideas will mix with others', making energy pondering a lot more fun.
That said, no one has used this wiki for a while and pbworks would like to clean it up. Which begs the question, is it useful to have? Soren isn't doing a lot of research lately and mostly uses Twitter to share links of interest. A dedicated electronic calendar has proven to be a good way to track general observations like "left the lights on" (to correlate later with hourly readings from the electric company). He still makes energy observations but is hasn't found a great way to enter them. Something like Google Forms might be useful here? Short answer, this wiki seems like something I might like to use again, mostly to organize projects. Publishing complete ideas or results might work better with a traditional blog using WordPress.
"In a typical town, seventy to eighty cents of every dollar spent on energy immediately leaves the local economy. Finding ways to reduce these costs and plug these leaks initiates a series of local economic benefits."
