Room to Room Fan Clears the Air, Saves Energy

The fan is an ultra-cheap way to move air from your heater or air-conditioner around the house— and that means there’s less of a need to crank up the temperature controls. The door frame fan, which is available on the Improvements Catalog website, moves 120 cu. ft. of air per minute and circulates air in an average room (10′x12′) three times per hour.

Great idea. Sometimes all you need to make a difference is good circulation through the rooms.
New Department of Energy regulations mandate that power companies and energy providers may not put any restrictions on the trade of energy i.e. selling your power back to the power company. Of course they can make you run a gauntlet as far as safety is concerned. The energy industry has a traded market just like the oil industry, and theoretically having a shed full of batteries could make you money if you downloaded at night and resold at peak hours.
