My Services in the center of the homepage offers you quick links to our most popular points.: My Meter, Bill Pay and request service. The New Year always brings about resolutions involving bettering ourselves or changing our look, and that’s no different for SAEC. As we ring in 2016, we’re launching a brand new website designed to better assist you and that’s easier to navigate. You’ll still find a lot of the same information about our programs and services but we’ve put the most popular information right in the center of the homepage. You’ll still find quick links to the pay online feature and also our outage map, but now they are both located along the top of the home page for easy access.
Drop-down menus contain more detailed information about our youth and community activities, cooperative history, and safety information. You’ll also notice that we’ve made back issues of our Alabama Living magazine easy to find and view. We hope you find the new website to be informational and a great resource. We’d love to hear from you if you have suggestions or other items you’d like us to add.

Seal air leaks with caulk Did you know heating and cooling accounts for roughly half of your home’s energy use? Caulking cracks and gaps around windows, doors and spaces around wires (telephone, electrical, cable and gas lines), water spigots and dryer vents can pay off with big energy savings. *Approximate cost: $5-$30 *Energy savings: Approximately 5 -10 percent – Source: U.S. Dept. of Energy
Materials You Will Need: Caulk, caulk gun, knife or tool to cut, rags, water 1. PREP: Clean the area where you will be applying the caulk. Remove any dirt, loose paint or old, cracked caulk. Be sure the area is dry before applying new caulk appropriate for your application. 2. LOAD: You will need to pull the plunger all the way back to load the tube of caulk into the barrel of the caulking gun. Next, squeeze the trigger a few times until the plunger makes contact with the tube. Squeeze once or twice more to fill the tip with caulk. 3. APPLY: To figure out the right amount of caulk needed, experiment with an out-of-the-way section. You may find that you need less caulk than you thought. Hold the gun at a slight angle. Apply steady pressure on the trigger to create a solid stream from the tip, which should be placed ½ inch or less from the intended destination of the material. Use just enough caulk to do the job. Use your finger to gently press the caulk into the corner, crack or space. 4. RELEASE: Once the trigger is fully depressed, allow it to spring back and depress it again. Keep the gun moving while caulk is still coming out of the tip. 5. CLEAN: Use a damp cloth or rag to clean off most of the excess caulk. Use a dry cloth to clean off the rest.

At Clarke-Washington EMC we talk a lot about the services we provide to you, our members—home energy audits, heat pump rebates, convenient billing options, and fun events like our annual meeting. But many of our value-added benefits are directed at a younger audience: children. It’s important that we support our youngest members, not only to enrich their lives, but also to instill in them the importance of cooperative membership. After all, these are the ones who will one day become community and possibly co-op leaders. For high school seniors, we offer college scholarships. This year we will award three $1000 scholarships. There is some information on the following pages about our scholarship program. You can get an application from your guidance counselor, or you can go to our website, www.cwemc.com, to print your
own copy. The applications must be mailed to the address on the application and received by February 26, 2016. For our high school juniors, we have the opportunity to attend the annual Rural Electric Youth Tour, where we send 4 local students to Montgomery on a two-day trip to learn about co-ops and government on a state level. Then, two of these students will go to Washington, D.C., on a weeklong trip in June to learn more about the electric cooperatives and government on a national level. It is truly a wonderful trip. We also support programs in the schools for our youngest members, like energy conservation talks and safety presentations. We do these things because we want to make our communities better and improve the quality of life of all of our members. Thank you.

Top five energy users in your home A starting point for savings While most homeowners would like to be more energy efficient and save money, often it feels overwhelming because many people don’t know where to start. How can the average family use less energy, lower their utility bill and still meet their daily energy needs? To help jump-start your effort, it is useful to know what the top energy users are in your home. With this knowledge, you can choose a path that works best for your family. According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, the top five energy users in U.S. homes are: 1. Space cooling 2. Space heating 3. Water heating 4. Lighting 5. Refrigeration
Adjust the temperature
Together, home heating and cooling use the most energy and take the biggest bite out of your energy budget. On the bright side, there are ways you can achieve at least 10 percent savings by taking a few simple low-cost or no-cost steps. II During cold weather, set your thermostat to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
II During warm weather, the recommended indoor temperature is 78 degrees Fahrenheit. II Cleaning the filters of your HVAC system can cut costs from five to 15 percent. II Clean the coils around your electric baseboard heater to maintain maximum efficiency. II Caulk and weather-strip around windows and doors to prevent heat from escaping to the outdoors. No matter what the climate or time of year, proper use of a programmable ther-

mostat can save you 10 percent on your monthly utility bill.
Shine the light on savings
Take a fresh look at the lighting in your home. If you still use incandescent lighting, your light bulbs are operating at only 25 percent energy efficiency. Replacing your home’s five most frequently used bulbs with Energy Star-certified LEDs can save you $75 per year. Another easy way to save is to always turn lights off in rooms that are not being used.
Water heating efficiency
Just as it is energy-wise to insulate your roof, wall or floor, it also pays to wrap your hot water heater with an insulating blanket. This is all the more critical if you have an older unit. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. For additional efficiency and savings, insulate exposed hot water lines and drain one to two gallons of water from the bottom of your tank annually to prevent sediment build-up.
Put cold hard cash back in your wallet
If your refrigerator was purchased before 2001, chances are it uses 40 percent more energy than a new Energy Star model. If you are considering an appliance update, a new Energy Star refrigerator uses at least 15 percent less energy than non-qualified models and 20 percent less energy than required by current federal standards. Regardless of the age of your fridge, there are additional steps you can take to save energy and money. For example, don’t keep your refrigerator too cold. The Department of Energy recommends temperatures of 35 – 38 degrees Fahrenheit for the fresh food compartment and 0 degrees Fahrenheit for separate freezers (used for long-term storage). By understanding how your home uses energy, you can determine the best ways to modify energy use and keep more money in your wallet.

If you need a space heater to keep your home comfortable, this may be a sign that your home needs insulation or air sealing, both of which can be great investments and significantly reduce your energy bills. You can consider simple short-term measures, such as: • Putting in weather stripping around drafty doors and windows. • Hanging thermal curtains or blankets or installing window film. • Using rugs to cover uncarpeted floors. In the longer-term, increasing your home’s insulation or switching to a more efficient heating system, such as a ductless heat pump, can be a more cost-effective solution. A good energy auditor can help you figure out the best measures to take to keep your home comfortable. If your co-op offers free or discounted home audits, take them up on it! A
Space Heater Safety Tips Regardless of the kind of space heater you purchase, practice safety: space heaters are involved in more than 80 percent of fatal home heating fires. When you purchase your heater, check that it has the following: • Tip-over safety switch, which automatically shuts the heater off if it tips over • Temperature sensor to detect when any internal components become too hot • Guard around heating element to protect curious hands or paws • UL-listing or other certification to show that it meets voluntary safety standards Practice safety, and teach your family what to do: • Use the heater only on a flat surface • Plug the heater directly into the wall instead of an extension cord and avoid plugging anything else into the same outlet. If you must use an extension cord, use the shortest possible heavy-duty cord • Keep the heater away from pets, children and flammable items like bedding, furniture and curtains • Don’t use in the bathroom unless it is designed for bathroom use; moisture can damage the heater • Don’t leave a heater unattended – turn it off for safety and to save money!

Our Sources Say
Hypocrisy
W
ebster’s Dictionary defines hypocrisy as “a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not.” It further defines hypocrisy as “the false appearance of virtue or religious belief.” When unveiling his Clean Power Plan in August 2015, President Obama said, “No challenge presents a greater threat to our future and future generations than a change in climate.” President Obama has stated numerous times – even within the last 60 days – that climate change is a greater threat than ISIS or terrorism. World leaders met recently in Paris at the United Nations 2015 Conference on Climate Change to discuss an agreement for the global reduction of carbon emissions to ensure a better future for the world. The tag line for the conference was, “Long Live the Planet. Long Live Humanity. Long Live Life Itself.” A bold theme for bold people. Of course, President Obama attended the conference as did China’s Chairman Xi and other global leaders. They were there to express deep concern for the planet’s future, the seriousness of reaching an agreement on carbon reductions and to resolve the world’s greatest threat. It is ironic that the conference was convened in Paris, where, just a month before, an orchestrated ISIS terrorist attack killed 158 people and injured dozens more. It is ironic that President Obama attended the meeting and expressed his belief that climate change is more of a threat than terrorism, despite the attack in San Bernardino, Calif., that killed 14 people and wounded numerous others. What is more important to you? The increasing number and intensity of terrorist attacks or the undefined, speculative and uncertain threats of climate change? My bet is that victims’ families would consider terrorist violence a far greater concern. Nevertheless, world leaders express more distress about climate change than terrorism. The climate change debate takes different shapes. Some leaders attended the Conference to make their claim for a portion of and to secure a binding commitment for the $100 billion per year in climate aid for developing countries promised by President Obama at the United Nations Climate Conference in
Copenhagen in 2009. China and India pressed their position that they are still developing countries and entitled to their portions of the climate aid to continue economic development. In the meantime, China expands its coal consumption 2.6 percent a year, and India expands its coal use 5 percent a year. Of course, China promises to reduce its carbon intensity in 2030, but that is a commitment of energy efficiency – not necessarily a commitment to reduce coal usage like President Obama is pledging. While world leaders gathered in Paris to posture about the threats of climate change, 1.4 billion children live in poverty and are malnourished, 2.6 billion people lack clean drinking water, billions of children are deprived of adequate medical care, and billions of people lack reliable electric service. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has found that the politically correct movement of climate aid actually diverts money from feeding the hungry and providing medical care in developing countries. Apparently our plan is to help people prepare for the future ravages of climate change but deny them the basic necessities of life in the current time frame. Author and humorist P.J. O’Rourke refers to issues like climate change as “fashionable worries.” Climate change is sexier than feeding starving children, providing medical care in poor countries or providing affordable energy for developing countries. Success in resolving climate change is not as objective, measurable or transparent as providing food and health care to the poor. For politicians, climate change is the perfect problem. The threat cannot be solved in the near term, the danger is difficult to predict and measure, and politicians are less accountable in resolving the problems. All they need is for us to trust them to do the right thing, not question their motives or actions, provide billions of tax revenues to fund their efforts, and they will solve the problem in about 80 years. To hold such a superficial, do-nothing meeting and declare climate change as the most important issue in today’s world in a city still recovering from terrorist attacks and to proclaim climate change more important than people killed by terrorists at times when children lack food, clean water and health care is just hypocrisy. But such is our world. I hope you have a good month. A
