Energy Efficiency

A lot of people are waiting for new technology that’s going to make our lives completely efficient. However, the next "green iPod" is probably a caulk gun.

"A lot of people are looking for the next "green iPod"--the shiny new technology that’s going to make our lives completely efficient … I think people shouldn’t wait; I think that’s a trap. The next "green iPod" is probably a caulk gun—those kinds of things are so cheap. It’s free money lying around waiting for us to pick it up." -- Sightline Research Director Clark Williams-Derry
