I love the guy and the technology aspect of it all but I cringe when he goes on about energy savings. Doesn’t matter how much water the dishwasher is using or if he’s running the heat-pump to cool his house during the day.

The only true energy saving hack is not living in a giant fucking house to begin with, not filling it with appliances and crap, not driving a car to and from. Simple not eating meat is probably a bigger energy saver than most of these “hacks”.

What we need is a technology revolutions channel, where he talks about the thermal mass of an earth-ship, harvesting rainwater and repurposing grey water, growing beans on meager soil, how to quad-copter and radio communications, the efficiency of a bicycle chain vs belt drive and small scale agricultural machinery from japan.
