SmartPower President Interviewed about Energy Efficiency The Washington, DC Fox 5 TV news reporter Claudia Coffey and a film crew arrived to interview Brian in a segment called, "Saving Money in the New Year: Making Green by Going Green." The purpose of the segment was to show viewers they can save money while also saving energy. Brian demonstrated many of SmartPower's energy efficiency-recommended tasks such as replacing incandescent bulbs with compact florescent bulbs. Brian also demonstrated that plugging televisions and cable boxes into power strips and then shutting those strips off can prevent 'phantom loads.' These 'phantom loads' occur when appliances and electronics are shut off but left plugged into an outlet. Even while 'off,' these electrical components still draw small amounts of electricity, resulting in increased electrical costs for the home as well as a bigger carbon footprint. Over time, even small amounts of electricity can add up to significant amounts of money wasted and CO2 emitted. Click here to to view the news segment.

In June, SmartPower was proud to be the lead sponsor of a documentary that was shown on Connecticut Public Television titled, "The Warming of Connecticut." This one-hour documentary outlined how global warming was affecting the everyday lives of Connecticut residents.
