Your Questions About Save Energy How Would You Like It

Susan asks…In a water heater, how much energy would be saved if ALL the water was touching the heating element?What I'm really trying to figure out is, in rough/general terms, how much energy potentially could be saved if the surface area between the water and the heating element was maximized to the fullest theoretical amount. For instance, if the volume of water was flattened out over some gigantic (in surface area) heating element so that every bit of water (every molecule, I guess) was

Your Questions About Saving Energy

Michael asks…Energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs - do they use less energy if switched on for only a minute?I heard that they use a kick of energy when you first switch them on, then use a lot less while they stay on. Is the initial amount more than, say a normal 60w bulb? If so, what is the length of time where the two use the same amount of energy? This isn't an exam question - I just want to know if it is worth using energy-saving bulbs where they are used frequently for short periods
