At the time, I struggled to round the list out of ten, but now there is a whole new group of devices hitting the market.  If you have endless hours to research, then maybe you have discovered some of these.  If not, then maybe you're like me and need to rely on great advice and tips from the energy conscious community.   Russ, one of our readers, has been researching power saving technology for a home he's building in Turkey.  He was kind enough to pass along and let me share his list of whole house electricity monitoring devices as well as a few more plug meters.  His list goes a little something like this:

		<description><![CDATA[No matter how I slice it, adding solar panels to our house is just plain expensive.  Even with the current tax incentives and credits from the utility companies, I ran the numbers and a system will still set us back about $20,000 by the time it’s all said and done.  With that in mind, we set out to tackle all the passive solar and energy reduction projects that we could before jumping into active solar.  In case you don’t know what the difference is between passive solar and active solar, let’s start with a brief explanation of the two
