excellent article on winter heating conservation
I'm a huge fan of Mr money mustache. Basically he takes our desire to save energy and applies it to saving money. Today he put up a post on saving money via reducing your heating bill full of lots of math and explanation. It was quite good in my mind.

One thing that caught my attention, though, was this: Quote:
Of course, this is splitting hairs. Overall the article is quite good EDIT: Here's what I found on Wikipedia: Quote:
