Florida stumbles over its own feet with water conservation and energy efficiency

Lee County in Florida is facing a common problem with many other states when it comes to implementing with use of renewal resources along side our current use of fossil fuels.  Since some states only have one or two power companies, these companies have to be heavily regulated.  To stop these companies from having geo-isolated monopolies over their regions, the cost of energy is set at a settled upon price.

Since the energy company’s revenues are heavily regulated, they don’t have much room to invest in new technologies.  One logical idea to this problem is creating cheaper to generate power in more efficient ways. Eric Draper of Autobon says “Consumers know that it is not the rate per kilowatt that matters. It's the cost of the kilowatts used. If electricity can be generated with renewable sources and used more efficiently, bills will come down now and in the future.”

Delta Faucets company is going Green

Recently, one of my favorite manufacturers of kitchen and bathroom faucets has released a new model of faucet that has gone over to the green side of things. Delta has started building there faucets with water conservation and maximizing water efficiency in mind.


The Delta Company is working with the EPA to offer what they call WaterSense. Basically they are making their faucets that operate at 1.5 gallons per minute instead of the standard which is 2.2 gallons per minute. We at TheKitchenFaucet.com love any company who has committed themselves to help clean up the environment, and hopefully we will be caring their product soon. You can read more about Delta's new campaign on there website.
