Prabhupada, June 24, 1976, New Vrindaban: […] So even understanding that you have improved the lighting system, but that is not the only necessity of my life. But to improve from the castor seed lamp, castor oil lamp, to this electricity, you have to work so hard. You have to go to the middle of ocean and drill it and get out petroleum and… In this way your real business of life is finished. The energy and the intelligence you got for your self-realization or your, this precarious position, constantly dying and taking birth in various species of life, this is your problem, and this was to be solved in human life, you have got advanced intelligence, but that intelligence is utilized from castor seed lamp to the electric lamp. That’s all.

This civilization is going on. This is called maya. For some fictitious happiness you lose your whole purpose of life. Full Conversation

Curiousity.discovery.com: The United States uses 3.45 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year, 25 percent of worldwide electricity use [source: IndexMundi]. Nearly a third of that is used in homes, more than is used by either commerce or industry [source: EIA]. The culprit behind this home energy drain? Home appliances, which need a lot of energy. An appliance that requires 1,000 watts of electricity will use 1 kWh in an hour. Many small appliances, such as vacuum cleaners, toasters, coffee makers and hair dryers, use large amounts of electricity, because they generate heat, but are only on for short periods of time. The largest electricity users in the home are devices that stay on continuously, such as refrigerators and water heaters.
