Mobile Apps That Make an Eco-Difference

December 20, 2013

How much energy do you burn at home? In today’s industrialized society, energy consumption is a hot topic, so you might be wondering. The residential sector is responsible for 21 percent of the total energy usage in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The history of energy suppliers is a long and complicated one. Consumers can take control of their home energy expenditure, however, with the help of some nifty mobile apps:
