    Ooops. Sorry. The link didn't take.

    G.E. is replacing their HCFCs and building a more energy efficient refrigerator that runs most of it's high load during off-peak hours.

    Don't overlook that this same programming can be used to operate the refrigerator during peak sunlight hours on a solar home.

    Thanks, Godiva. That makes a helluva lot more sense.

    Good point, FL_Prius.

    And this smart technology can be incorporated into other appliances.

    Personally I wouldn't trust my money in any paper form at this point, you would have thought people had learned their lesson over the last few months. Glaciers in Alaska are growing though and the Farmers Alamanc for 2009 predicts the winter to be a very cold one!

    Climate and weather are not the same. Keep that in mind during the coming cold winter.

    I've been purchasing GE stock monthly through their DRIP for 10 years. Their stock has been hammered the last year. Hopefully, they'll eventually make a comeback.
