GFE/IDEAS Web Series Concept Please view and share your thoughts on how this could improve.

1. GFE/IDEAS Web Series “The low hanging fruit of money saving energy efficiency tips and technologies whipped into in an easy to digest, time saving video smoothie”

3. Each needs to provide REAL solutions to the average person to help them find ways to reduce their dependence on oil, electricity and help the environment.

4. Need a dedicated team to come up with interesting content, factual information, filming talent, and on screen talent.

5. A stepping stone to a full television series on either a major network, or a Discovery Communications channel, such as Planet Green

6. Discuss issues that are important, and can make a big difference, but that seem to not be getting enough attention and discussion

7. We will basically be a research and reporting service to the consumer and hopefully gain the attention of business and government at the same time for being a think tank that is providing real solutions.

9. There are:

10. Electric Tesla’s that do 0-60 faster than any other road car out there

11. Nano technologies and Carbon fiber

12. Advanced Biofuels

13. Renewable energy

14. “Filling up” for the equivalent of 25 cents a gallon on electricity

15. Not having to pay utility bills any more because of rooftop solar and geothermal

16. Electric motorcycles that can drive for less than a penny a mile

17. And many, many more

18. Because most people don’t want to learn. But they do want to be entertained. (Casey Anthony Weiner)

20. Energy payback in 3-6 months (so even if renting, it makes sense to do right away. You can always take with you when you leave.

21. Contains less mercury than an incandescent produces from the extra electricity used from coal fired plants (shot of Stanton coal fired power plant on Alafaya)

22. You can recycle them at home depot (shot at home depot recycling a bulb

23. Do the energy calculation with 12 lamps in a powerstrip plugged into a kill-a-watt meter. 1st incandescent, then CFL’s. 720 watts vs 144 watts.

24. save $5-$10 a year per bulb

25. In Florida it is more to off set air conditioning use 10 months of the year. Double that for a 14 SEER AC to remove that heat. Shoot a 100w bulb with a temperature gun

26. Porch lights or anything over 4 hours a day? Essential!! If you can only do one, do the light that’s on the most!

27. Oh and CFL’s last over 4 years on average, versus 6 months for Incandescents

28. So how much total on 12 bulbs which cost $20 to buy? – will save $12 a year on lightbulbs, $100 a year in lighting electricity and $150 on additional air conditioning. So in 4 years that’s over a thousand dollars!!

29. Over $20 a month. They pay for themselves the first month!!

30. What can I do with my old incandescents before they burn out? Save them. Use them in Attics and closets that get turned on less than an hour a month.

31. Australia has made incandescent bulbs illegal, and America will too by 2014!

33. Compare price

34. Compare Range

35. Compare benefits/limitations of each

36. Volt vs. Leaf

37. Which is better? It depends on your lifestyle. Explain which is better for each.

38. Single car family? Volt.

39. Dual car family? Leaf

40. Discuss charging options

42. Compare similar years VW Jetta’s

43. Have them both fill up and drive to the beach to surf

44. Top off before trip and top off when get back

45. But fill the TDI with B100 but don’t show till later

46. Compare results to original window stickers

47. And compare cost.

49. What are other inexpensive options to get started

50. B100 biodiesel!

51. What do I need?

52. A diesel car, and a local biodiesel pump.

54. Then have her talk to restaurant owners and get them to save oil for her in the 5 gal containers.

55. Watch her pour it in and drive!

56. Go to restaurant with all her friends in the car and eating there.

58. Compare effort or cost to benefit and mpg gain.

59. Rate the “lowest hanging fruit” in order, so if someone only does a few things, they know where to begin

60. Make it scientific, and coherent to understand, yet fun and upbeat. Enthusiasm about saving money at the pump needs to be the focus and create excitement.

61. Discuss the additional benefits besides saving money, such as the environment, dependence on oil and the economy.

63. Get some great shots of tricks until battery dies

64. While charging go over specs, do interviews

65. Have them compare it to a Gas boat. Pro’s and Cons

66. Go over how it works, voltage, amp hours, total watts

67. Have a BBQ then go out an do some more

68. Find out voltage and add Lead Acid deep cycles as “fat sacks” to extend range. This can be an on the spot problem solving idea that we actually plan out ahead of time.

69. Greg Maloon – Vice President product development Nautique.

71. Can a scooter solve all your needs?

72. Do you really need your car?

73. 1 week challenge.

74. If you have to drive the car, find out why and film it.

75. Can a scooter pay for itself in under a year? You bet!

76. 2nd scooter challenge – race a car to do a series of obstacles, grocery shop, drive to work, cash check at bank, busy mall, the “car” can’t find parking, lol!!

78. Some people need to carry 7 passengers

79. The General Motors Hybrid platform raises fuel economy from 12/18 to 20/23!! The biggest percentage of any hybrid out there!!

80. Potential to save $2500 a year in fuel or $10,000 in 4 years!!

81. Extra cost new is only $3500!!

82. A no brainer!!!

83. 5 models: 3 SUV, 2 trucks

84. Escalade, Tahoe, Yukon, Silverado, GMC Sierra.

85. Discuss features that allow a 70% increase in city and a 30% increase in highway mileage!!!

87. All a consumer really needs to run when not home is the refrigerator, and maybe the DVR.

88. Power consumption peaks at 6 pm and is least at 4 am

89. Peak power costs 3 times as much as off peak power to produce

90. Give the consumer a chance to shift their usage to off peak, and pass along savings to them

91. A small solar/battery backup system can provide power to a fridge for 10 hours while the homeowner is gone

93. My car won’t start. How to tell if it’s the battery

104. Energy vs Power

105. Lifespan and how to increase it

107. Economy

108. Dependence on foreign oil

109. Most important to the consumer though….price.

110. Gas has risen from under a dollar a gallon in 1999 to over $4.00 this year. That’s a 12 percent increase per year. Following that pattern, although gas may not stay there, it is possible we will see spikes in the $10 a gallon range this decade.

111. Why do gas prices rise?Supply and Demand, and there really being no other alternative. If gas went to $16 a gallon by 2016, what would you do?

112. With an ever tight growing market globally, supply disruptions from terrorism will cause unbelievable price spikes overnight.

114. How long would it take to “pay for” the motorcycle?

115. Plus then you still “own” a motorcycle. So for motorcycles that are more than 10-15 years old, depreciation has already happened, payback is immediate, right?

116. Do a real world mpg test on some common motorcycles, and the best mpg ones.

117. Caption contest 

119. Each has a flash drive and records their trip (along with every gram of CO2 released and every gram of fuel used)

120. Upload results, get recommendations from the specific tutorial which analyzes the way you drive, and gives suggestions how to drive better

121. Then do the course again

129. How much power does a TV use?

130. Tube, Plasma, LCD, LED, which is better?

131. Can upgrading to an energy efficient LED TV actually pay for itself?

132. LED TV’s produce 150 to 200 watts less heat that your AC has to remove from the house! A double whammy of inefficient TV’s! Especially in Florida!!

133. Sure! Especially if anyone out there is a “TV Sleeper” lol you know who you are!

134. Compare some older TV’s compared to the most efficient TV’s today as far as standby power and running power.

135. Instant on? A no-no

136. Backlighting! Can save 50% right there!!

138. A long time if you know what items use the most energy.

139. Why? So in a power outage, or thunderstorm, you can still have power.

140. Test the items in a home and see how much power they use.

141. Both power and daily energy.

142. Show how long items can run off 1 deepcycle battery.

143. Fridge, TV, Computer, Lights etc.

144. Major Appliances like AC, water heater, microwave, washer/dryer

145. Break down a power bill into a pie chart by appliance

146. Show how long you would have to pedal a generator bike to power an item for 1 minute, run inverter to run an item for 1 minute, then have the model pedal the bike generator to recharge what was used. Start small then start using the bigger power items. For instance, she will have to bike for 30 minutes to run the air conditioner for 1 minute. Bike for only 10 seconds to power a CFL for 1 minute. Bike for 45 seconds to power an incandescent for a minute etc.

147. Test battery voltage before/after to determine recharge amount.

149. Least efficient time to use AC? When it’s hottest out. i.e. 4-6 PM

150. AC vs. Ceiling fan use. Could run a ceiling fan all day and use less energy than the AC for 15 min.

151. Yet Ceiling fan can make you feel 6 degrees cooler. An AC running from 1-7 pm will not lower temp by 6 degrees.

152. Well insulated house? Cool from 3-7 AM

153. SEER ratings. What does this mean for you. How old is the AC

154. Needs repair? Is it 20 years old or more? Replace It!

155. Unused rooms? Shut the vents

156. Changing the filter.

158. Get everyone on an electric bike. Can use human power of 250 watts and add to that 250 watts of electric to go twice as far and twice as fast as you can by pedaling.

160. Start with the most eco friendly Energy Star horizontal washer and dryer.

161. Always use cold water unless clothes soaked in oil or grease.

162. Do full loads

163. Use eco settings on dryer, or air dry

164. Vent dryer inside in winter

165. Wear outside clothes like pants and sweatshirts more than once if not dirty.

166. Research more ways and discuss them

167. Gas vs Electric dryer.

168. Do dryer loads back to back

169. Clean lint filter

171. The only essential item that must run during a peak power period

172. The more efficient, the less peak power it will use.

173. Keep fridge full so less warm air enters. Test the myth.

174. Again use the Kill-A-Watt to do side by side tests

176. MPG

177. Price

178. Focus on advantages:

179. City parking

180. (can perpendicular park!!)

181. Garage parking

182. Fun factor! Many convertible!

183. Can you fit 4 micro’s in a 2 car garage?

184. Make a set of games that only small cars like this could do.

185. Obstacle course

187. Compare cost

188. Compare mpg

189. Compare other features

190. Vote best based on mpg

191. Vote best based on price

193. That also get 35 mpg or better

194. Test against each other and which we like best and why

195. Everyone votes separate so we can all vote different (perhaps watch can win, maybe we all vote for the same one)

196. With a combined trade in value/down payment of $5000 a 5 year loan would be $166 a month and save over $200 a month in fuel!!!! What??? Why aren’t more people doing this!!!!

197. Key winners: SUV/Truck owners who bought one while gas was cheap and are now suffering. And those who drive 15-20 miles or more each way to work.

200. Very simple watts X hours = kWh

201. A watt = 1 volt X 1 amp

202. Explain a volt

203. Explain an amp

204. Build a lemon battery

205. Connect a few in series, and a few in parallel to explain how volts and amps can be added. Light a few LED’s

207. 3 fold rise from 1970 to 1980

208. Fairly flat from 1982-1998

209. From 1999 to today, another rise in electricity and oil and energy prices

216. Wash on cold water

217. Low flow shower heads

218. Add a solar preheater!

219. Water heater insulation (in cold climates)

220. Make a game: Water heater energy is measured for one week before hand at 4 hosts houses.

221. Challenge, who can reduce it the most using the tips here.

223. Solar thermal is more efficient than a photovoltaic setup by a factor of 3-4 as far as efficiency. Especially in Florida.

224. Florida freezing is not an issue, so dual system coolants are not necessary (reducing cost)

225. Natural gas is more efficient than electrical resistance heating, yet most Florida homes don’t have a natural gas water heater, meaning they have the biggest opportunity for payback for 3 reasons:

226. 1) It’s warmer and more sun

227. 2) no freezing

228. 3) offset electricity vs. nat gas

229. Stoked about this project!! Trade for an at cost discount on a solar thermal on Lake Jessamine if we do the install??

230. Calculate payback time by monitoring the true cost of an electric hot water heater system.

231. If good do at the Kissimmee house as well!!

233. This trip will be with 4 GFE/IDEAS Activists to meet with congressmen working on Green legislation, government agencies that deal with energy or the environment, and meet with leaders of the as many of the organizations we can who focus on these issues and have headquarters in Washington, D.C. - Some we may try to meet with are:

272. Might need to do this at WDW speedway

274. At speeds over 45 mph it’s generally better to use the AC right?

275. Test it!

276. Also what settings are best for the AC for MPG?

277. How much exactly does using the AC really hurt your gas mileage?

278. Is Max cold the most efficient and turn it off 50% of the time?

279. Does setting the temp halfway just mix heat into the car making it super wasteful?

280. How to keep a car cooler? Tint, stick on tint, window shades

282. Will drafting behind a truck help?

296. Why not in the US? Because the current EPA test doesn’t give any benefit to cars which save fuel by not wasting gas idling.

297. Someone said it takes more fuel to restart a car than if it just kept running? Myth! False! Prove it!!!

299. Test how much fuel economy drops by adding 1000 pounds to a car. This can be people, weights, bottles of water, concrete bags, whatever!

300. Figure out how much you can save in 4 years if you can remove 100 pounds from your car.

302. But objective to learn to anticipate stops and start to back off the gas early

304. Goal is to keep the alternator from kicking on at all

305. Solar panels charge to 14.9 Volts

306. Alternator won’t kick on till 13.8

308. What???? How does this work?

309. Any car that can get 40 mpg at 75 mph is allowed a 5 mph grace on the speed limit.

310. Why do this? To get people out of big trucks and into smaller more fuel efficient cars.

311. People like to go fast, people will choose faster if they can have it

312. A small light weight car is safer at 5 mph over what a big SUV is.

313. Since people will want to go faster, they will buy a car that qualifies.

314. If the motorcycle can get 50 mpg at 80 mph it is allowed a 10 mph grace. This is safer for the motorcycle anyway.

316. What is E85?

317. I’ve heard mixed things, is it good or not?

318. What’s the real deal?

319. What are the subsidies?

343. Calculate the cost in electricity to go a mile

344. Could this be the cheapest form of powered transport????

346. Can wake board and wake skate on the lake for pennies of electricity instead of dollars of gas, and this way no one needs to go buy gas, you just plug in. Much easier!

347. Keep at the Lake Jessamine house!

349. They are noisy and can cause hearing damage.

350. Build an electric riding lawnmower with a swapable 48 volt battery pack that another can be charging or charged ready to go.

351. Building items with swapable batteries is an awesome idea!!

352. As long as voltage is constant. Invest in 1 set of good batteries, and then 1 backup. Never run out!

354. Big enough to tow a boat trailer (will have a trailer ball)

355. Big enough to carry 4 people

357. Electric hub motor to go all electric for up to 25 miles

365. Less than 200 pounds for the bike

367. Or does it feel like it starts to get hot after just a few minutes?

368. If it does, your home is wasting energy, and fast.

369. We will explore the methods of weatherizing a home and which have the biggest payback.

370. Explore FLIR energy audits

371. Energy efficient windows versus old style crank single pane windows

386. Federal and state tax credits up to 70% off photovoltaic systems!

387. Rooftop solar keeps direct sun off your physical roof, lowering the amount of heat your air conditioner has to work

388. Can provide power security in the event of outages.

389. Can sell back to the grid it times of peak use to actually make money

390. Do an install and determine costs, payback times and how it works.

392. Most systems pay for themselves in 2-8 years, with the systems close to a body of water having the least installation cost and also the biggest gains.

393. Talk about the types of systems and how they are done

394. Get a geothermal heat pump manufacturer to give a discount on a system we will install and feature on an episode.

395. After it is running show the watts used with this system compared to another home and calculate the monthly savings

397. Plan: Let’s start with just one. CFL lighting. Let’s make it the best we can, and then see how we feel about moving forward.

398. If done well it will get shared, blogged, and talked about. Then the goal is to make the next one even better.

401. We should attempt to have these vehicles donated long term to do a thorough review and help them appear in each episode to help provide awareness for the companies that make them and show how they are practical for consumers today

402. It’s quite silly actually why people feel they NEED a car when a motorcycle or scooter would satisfy 95% or more of their commuting needs.

403. I don’t think we will get Americans to sell their cars in mass droves and buy motorcycles, but perhaps we can get them to buy a slightly less expensive car, and use the extra cash to buy a motorcycle or scooter, where they will save many times over in gas how much the scooter cost.
