One sector that is not being looked at enough is the Fridge and freezer's
that people have at home...

One of the worst energy dinosaurs fridge that most American have is the old
20+ years fridge that keep our beer cold in the garage..

I've replaced my 7 years old fridge in the kitchen by an energy star one and
took the old one to the garage, and I dropped the very old one to be
recycled properly.

This was 4 month ago, I already see a difference in my electrical
consummation just by that move. (And the beers are still cold ;-))
