Sun, wind and vegetable oil

This is a picture of some of my husband’s many energy saving projects.

We use the sun and wind. Our whole house is hooked up.

We have changed all light bulbs in the house to compact fluorescents. Maurice even has all appliances set up where he can turn them off at the switch at night and when we are not at home.
If there is a lot of wind he wants me to wash extra clothes and run the dishwasher. He says, “Let’s not waste this free energy.” Our children call him the “Energy Detective.”

Let’s not forget the road. We have two hybrid vehicles, and now he is working on turning used vegetable oil into biodiesel fuel.
