Another year, come and gone…another Christmas season to remind us of what is really important.
Thanks for your Blog, Tyler- I hope you and your family have a very, Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! And this should be an interesting year for EVs, for clean tech- hopefully getting us closer to a tipping point for these things.
Look forward to your 2011 posts!

I enjoyed your column in the Star Dec 24th about energy usage. I have an inexpensive electronic energy meter that can be programed to measure the usage of any electric item that is plugged into an electric receptical.
You set the rate on the meter then plug into a recepticle, plug in the item you want to measure, note the time then check 24 hours later.
You now have the cost per day to operate whatever you plugged in to the meter.
What is interesting is to check items like VCR, radios, TVs that may not be in use but still use power 24/7…especially those pesky power blocks on cordless phones and your computer.
I use the cost per KW amount arrived at by dividing my billed amount by KW hours not the mythical 6¾¢ charges Toronto Hydro claims.
