Introduction
Overall Concept
About the Websites
Basic Questions
A New Electric America [EU, Canada, Australia...]
A positive, dynamic, approach to energy efficiency,
as with electricity from generation to consumption,
and the efficiency in public and private administration that goes with it,
rather than negative, restrictive and inefficient policies,
with costly upfront subsidies and regulations for questionable future savings.
Introduction: Energy Supply, Waste and Efficiency
Achieving overall efficiency, including in public and private administration
Efficient Electricity Generation: Raising or not the price of electricity
Achieving energy efficiency from stimulated competition and new technology
Karl Marx comes to Town: A Different take on Distribution in Society
How public distribution control is best in stimulating fair and efficient private service competition
Electricity Grids
Transmission and Interconnection Changes
Smart Grids and Meters
Electricity Consumption
Electricity savings throughout the energy usage chain
Final Words
Comparing policies and making the right decision
Addendum
Budget Saving: Tax not Ban Products based on Energy Use
A tax on otherwise banned but popular and safe Buildings, Cars, Electrical Goods etc gives Government direct big income, albeit that free market competition is preferable.
Energy Use: Why Regulate It?
In using energy, efficiency is best achieved by the stimulation of competition,
rather than by regulatory restrictions on services and products, which tend to backfire,
taxation then being preferable.
Moreover, future energy availability does not warrant choice restrictions for paying consumers, and any shortage of an energy source
raises its price, reduces its use, and increases the use anyway of alternative energy sources and of energy saving products - without any regulations.
