What Uses the Most Energy in Your Home?

This article was first published in the Visual Capitalist and written by Jeff Desjardins Warren Buffett describes his first rules of investing as: “Rule #1: Never lose money. Rule #2: Don’t forget rule #1”. But losing money doesn’t just happen in a stock portfolio – it’s also a common occurrence in other facets of life. That’s why Warren Buffett leads such a frugal lifestyle. He knows that every extra dollar spent on something he doesn’t need is wasted capital. In practically every house in America, capital is being wasted on energy consumption. That’s because the average electricity spend per year is $1,368.36 per year, and 35% of the power used is actually wasted.

This is neither good for your bank account or the environment.

What Uses the Most Energy in Your Home?

Today’s infographic from Connect4Climate shows the breakdown in the energy use of a typical home. It highlights the average cost per year of different appliances, while also showing what uses the most energy over the course of the year. Modern comfort comes at a price, and keeping all those air conditioners, refrigerators, chargers, and water heaters going makes household energy the third-largest use of energy in the United States.

Here’s what uses the most energy in your home:

Cooling and heating: 47% of energy use Water heater: 14% of energy use Washer and dryer: 13% of energy use Lighting: 12% of energy use Refrigerator: 4% of energy use Electric oven: 3-4% of energy use TV, DVD, cable box: 3% of energy use Dishwasher: 2% of energy use Computer: 1% of energy use One of the easiest ways to reduce wasted energy and money? Shut off “vampire electronics”, or devices that suck power even when they are turned off. These include digital cable or satellite DVRs, laptop computers, printers, DVD players, central heating furnaces, routers and modems, phones, gaming consoles, televisions, and microwaves. Warren Buffett would probably agree that a penny saved is a penny earned – and being more efficient with your energy use is good for your pocketbook and the environment.

Is it unlucky to pass salt?

In Italy you must never pass the salt, it's about marking you out for bad luck it seems, some folk will throw salt over their left shoulder should they spill the grains and in Portugal you are not allowed to put salt on the table.

stjohnrestaurant.com - Pass the salt! - St. JOHN

In Italy you must never pass the salt, it’s about marking you out for bad luck it seems, some folk will throw salt over their left shoulder should they spill the grains and in Portugal you are not allowed to put salt on the table. Well the latter is not superstition, but in fact due to a recent government edict to bring down the salt intake of their citizens, somewhat like the reason that we have not been able for some time to make some pigs happy with our leftovers, blanket action to get to the lowest common denominator, oh well. So randomly I was finally able to write about the end of the Young's Brewery in Wandsworth, London, loose connections to these random thoughts, you can read the article in Root and Bone magazine - we have them to pick up and read in our bar, if you are passing, and many other places too. The magazine is free!
