Electric Metric

I first found out about this blog from Brady Forrest's post about energy consumption. It's a compilation of energy-saving device reviews, comparisons between different devices, musings about American power consumption, and calculations of just how much power various devices use.

It's great for awareness, but I also love Bryn's sense of humor and wide-ranging approach; a recent post looked at the average power consumption of treadmills, but cracked: "It's probably best not to worry about the treadmill though. Knowing most americans you'll end up carrying it up to the attic soon enough. :)" The post ended with a link to an article about a gym in Hong Kong powered by treadmills. Now that's an idea!
