Wattage & Wealth

Wattage & Wealth



My post for today is to engage you, green friend, on two concepts that are connected together and to you and I. Wattage and wealth are twins, non identical but definitely kindred of same bloodline. They go hand in hand in aiding modern society to move forward. To put it in embellished evocation: they are the wheels of industry and measure of standard of living for nations.

What is wattage? Wattage is simply the amount of electrical energy a device, an appliance or machine depending on electricity needs to function. It is the energy (money) that runs whenever an appliance is plugged to the socket, the invisible drain of kilowatt hour on your electricity meter. For instance, if you have a 4 watts clipper, 10 watts standing fan, 2 units of 7 watts CFL bulbs, all switched on at the same time, that will give you a total wattage of 28 watts drawing energy from your pool of kilowatts. The moment you know this factor, you learn to recognize it in every electrical appliance you come in contact with, understanding how it relates to your economic standing in life. The more electricity you use, the more money you spend. 

Wattage is an inevitable commodity in every modern existence, which to sustain every citizen of the world wants to have in abundance. But it translates to money because wattage is bought in credits, loaded into electricity meters to be expended each time we draw from it for our use. Every bulb lighting up your house, every media appliance like TV, DVD player, Cable Decoder, Fan, every air conditioner and fridge consume various amount of wattage, which is expended in direct proportion to its availability and scarcity. In other words, the more appliances you have, the more your consumption in wattage will be.   

Next time you go shopping for electrical appliance, ensure to check it for low wattage. Doing this will reduce the number of times you will buy electric credits because wattage saved or efficiently used returns to the saver as wealth. Try it out for a year and become like Warren Buffet. Sure. Or like Bill Gates. Lol.

See you next time folks
