Your Earth by Suzanne Elston: It's Energy Conservation Week in ...
By Suzanne Elston
In 1989, Lovins referred to this saved energy as a “negawatt”. Twenty years later, we're finally catching up. Today, conservation plays a critical role in balancing our demand for electricity with our capacity to generate it. ... The idea is to make energy conservation part of your everyday life. The first step is to count yourself in by committing to create your own personal conservation plan using some of the 100 energy-saving tips listed on the ECW website. For home: ...

Energy Conservation, The Art Of Creating Negawatts_Green Earl
Negawatt power (Online Link Above In Title)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Actually when I coined the phrase "Negawatt" It was my attempt to come up with a term that would simply state what energy conservation consisted of in the nutshell. While I will not question widely read and respected Amory Lovins "proof" of how he came up with the term..I do suggest that others, perhaps me, Earl Allen Boek, founder of American Energy Conservation Group, of Redding, CAmay have actually created and used the term in conjunction with the actual hands on related use for it. As such, the definition for Negawatt, which never had the word power, or network, or any other (now trade marked) word attached, has in fact become convoluted and more confusing than it need be.
So I question the idea that Negawatt was the idea of creating incentives to reduce demand, though I agree it may have morphed into that use as time went on.
The term comes from the widely held idea that it will always be more cost-effective to save a watt of energy, or a therm of gas, for that matter, than to pay to create a new watt. This was my idea when I coined MY "Negawatt" word. The act of saving this watt is called conservation. Hence the name of my company founded in 1981 in Northern California.
For the record, The Term YESWECANSOLVEIT which has had the dot com, dot, net, taken and reserved by others, I came up and named a MyObama Group with. The Name GreenEarl is also original, this time I was able to protect and register the .com,.net and .info The Name American Energy Conservation Group is authentic, hard to dispute a name where a register DBA is still on the record. And the ongoing use on the internet today, also helps as does the including a term like "Negawatt" in a book, but I never wrote too much about Energy Conservation, THE ART OF CREATING NEGAWATTS..(hum, nice title for my first book) I was too busy, most the time, doing it._Green Earl

Negawatt power is the idea of creating incentives to reduce demand for electricity to ease the load at peak times or alleviate the need to build more generation plants. In theory, these negawatts can be aggregated and an arbitrage market could be created to trade these.
The term was coined by Amory Lovins, who saw a typo — "negawatt" instead of "megawatt" — in a Colorado Public Utilities Commission report. He adopted the term to describe electricity that wasn't created due to energy efficiency.[1]
An electricity supplier that needs more electricity can invite suppliers to bid to supply it and invite customers to bid to reduce demand. The electricity supplier can then compare these quotations to establish the most economic alternative. This comparison can refer to peak load management - how much per additional kW to get the power company through the peak load due to air conditioning on an unusually hot day - or may refer to longer-term investments - comparing the cost of building a new power station with the cost of, for instance, providing customers with low energy light bulbs.
A genuine market for negawatts requires regulatory failure elsewhere: the price of electricity at peak times must be lower than the marginal cost of supplying additional peak demand, or there must be constraints on the installation of new capacity.
Establishing a market may require legislation and cooperation between primary producers, distributors, traders and consumers. For instance, generators' income is commonly derived from selling electricity and their cash flow may be reduced by trade in efficiencies, but increasing supply by raising consumption efficiency is often less expensive than building new power plants.
New markets have developed in several regions across the United States to allow "demand side resources" to participate in wholesale energy markets. These markets are commonly referred to as demand response.
The naming concept could be expanded; cf. negajoules or negawatt-hours. [2]

Top Ten Energy Saving and Conservation Devices_Green Earl Approved
Energy Saving Products - Top 10 Devices for Money Saving Miracles by Ed W
A range of modern energy saving devices now exists for virtually all home appliances and electrical equipment. The more energy efficient products you use the more you will save on your energy bills. A range of modern energy saving devices now exists for virtually all home appliances and electrical equipment. The more energy efficient products you use the more you will save on your energy bills.
Looking to reduce your carbon footprint? We all love energy-saving and water-saving products that make a sustainable lifestyle much easier - and energy saving devices are a great way to save energy around the home.
So, if you're looking for some inspiration on how to become a more energy efficient citizen, below is a list of my favourite top 10 energy saving devices. Using these, you'll soon reap the rewards of cheaper energy bills.
1 . Solar charger
This simple energy saving device uses the energy from the sun to charge your electrical gadgets such as IPods, Digital Cameras, PDAs and usually any device that has a USB port. Left in a sunny spot in the morning, the batteries in the charger will be fully charged by early afternoon ready to charge up your gadgets.
2. Electricity Monitor
An electricity usage monitor shows you how much electricity you use, how much the electricity costs, and how much carbon dioxide emissions you are contributing to the environment. You can use this information to reduce your electricity consumption and save around 25% on your electricity bill. Modern wireless versions are also now available for even greater convenience.
3. Night Lights
Night lights are an energy efficient way of keeping your kids happy at night time. They can run 24 hours a day for 365 days a year for under a dollar. Modern versions emit a cool blue green electro-luminescent light, perfect for night lighting in bedrooms, hallways and corridors. I bet you didn't even know such an energy saving device existed.
4. Energy saving light bulbs
A fantastic energy saving device, energy saving light bulbs are now cheaper than ever. In most homes, lighting accounts for around 10-15 per cent of an electricity bill. Traditional light bulbs waste a lot of their energy by turning it into heat. Each energy saving bulb can save you $15 a year. They also last, on average, up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs.
5. Water saving spout
Save up to 70% of your usual water consumption with an automatic, touch-free auto spout which simply attaches on to your existing tap. The infrared sensors mean you just move your hands under the spout to activate the water-flow, making it a hygienic eco-friendly alternative to a conventional tap.
6. Creative showerhead
These are shower heads with a 'twist'. Basically you can now buy water saving shower heads which simply attach to your existing fitting, conserving water and energy without sacrificing pressure. These amazing showerheads can make water savings of between 30 and 70%. The shower head technology uses less water but the flow feels the same as it accelerates, energises and oxygenates the water.
7. Eco Kettle
It is estimated that, on average, we boil twice the volume of water needed every time, which means twice as much energy. An eco kettle accurately measures the amount of water to be boiled using an internal reservoir which holds a full capacity of water ready for use, while the measuring button allows the necessary quantity to be released into a separate chamber for boiling. The result is exactly the right amount of water every time. Another great energy saving device.
8. Toilet Water Saver
These devices consist of a plastic bag which sits in the toilet cistern conserving about 3 litres of water each time a toilet is flushed. When the toilet is flushed, the water confined in the bag is saved. If you find the bag impairs the flushing, you can usually cut off one of the bottom corners of the bag to make more space in the cistern. This saves approximately 33% of water used in a toilet, and 10% of total water used in a house.
9. Energy Saving Plug
This is a great energy saving device. Plug your PC into the master socket and extensions into the side plugs, and when your PC is switched off or on 'standby' the power will automatically be shut down to the extensions as well. Average annual electrical savings including the savings from speakers, and printer equal around 84KWh.
10. The Intelligent Mains Plug Panel:
This fantastic energy saving device remembers to be eco-conscious even when you forget. Specifically made for desktop computers, it automatically switches power to connected peripherals off, when the computer is on stand by or has been turned off completely.
