I have a gas dryer and often wondered if a line would be a decent savings. I use one from time to time. Have you ever figured it out? Anything that draws heat, takes a lot of electricity - but refrigerators and freezers and stoves are the biggest hogs.
I outlined my way to save a lot with the stove...and as for refrigerators, mine is small compared to most - I see no reason for paying, for example, for a huge refrigerator with an ice maker and water dispenser.
The things I do to save power isn't to 'save the world' but to save money.
But another reason for hanging wash out - nothing smells better - and to climb into fresh, sun-kissed, wind whipped sheets is almost sensual...
It is hard to imagine that remote control of a thermostat would keep you from keeping a house heated or cooled at you wanted. What are they going to do? Seal all the wiring to the furnace? It is real easy to have your own on-off switch.
It is amazing that they talk about this and Cafe standards..but then let people build whatever size house they want. With huge water heaters and 19 shower heads in their bathroom..hot top and heated pool.
So, I for one, will continue to heat cool and drive as I please.

That is poetic and sensual.
I might just use that line...LOL
