Practical for Real People
These days it seems that energy advice is available on every street corner--"turn down your thermostat", "caulk your house" or "buy a solar panel". Unfortunately, most of this "common sense" is either massively expensive or based on "cut back" and save. It's hardly inspiring or practical for real people. This book restores my confidence in practical energy solutions. It's not "preachy" or ...

Goldstein persuasively presents the view that ...

would be great as a promotional pamphlet

I thought this would be a great book, it was cheap and promised 100 tips. I considered buying the other books in the series and I'm glad I didn't. It's not that it was a bad book per se but it was not as insightful as I hoped. All the ...
