Ed Begley Jr. Doesn't Like Vampires—Vampire Power, That is [VIDEO]

Careful about energy drains you may not be aware of.

A statewide project called Energy Upgrade California is rolling out a series of videos aimed specifically at Los Angeles County, and of course, Ed Begley Jr. is involved.

Energy Upgrade California is a project of the state's Energy Commission that aims to teach homeowners about the need for and availability of home improvements that save energy and money.

A newly released video stars Ed Begjey, Jr., and covers "vampire power"—energy that you don't even know you're using, usually on consumer electronics, televisions, and computers that rely on standby mode. 

Especially during the summer, this is important. The demand for energy is high, the children are out of school, the temperatures are hot and muggy, so the air conditioner is a temptation, if not a necessity.

Energy Upgrade California has specific information for every county, but while a calendar in Los Angeles is chock-a-block with events.

See the video above.

I wish the media had countered Garcetti's claims with an examination of the facts and had exposedRead More his relationship with BIG development. Only the LA Weekly covered these stories--keep reading it and keep posting.

Oh, it was under announcements and not opinion so that is why I did not understand the post whichRead More appeared as facts.

Presumptuous? What about my "endorsement" is presumptuous. You don't really need toRead More respond😃, I just didn't understand the comment.

I attended N.H.H.S. in the mid-seventies. Mr. Reeves and Mr. Moelter were two of my favorites.Read More Loved Mr. McLeroy for Sociology.

great article Mary! Ms. Korney, she sometimes scared me to death! But always around christmas IRead More think of her and pronounce my letters clearly at the end of a word when I sing. I can still remember the song I had to sing for my final, "If ever I would leave you..." She taught me a lot. I agree with everything you said about Mr. Reeves. I had Mr. Pesin for Algebra, he did nothing to help further my math skills. The biggest flirt around, ick. We had a girl in school at the time that flirted her way to an A and hardly ever went to class. Go figure!! I also thought quite highly of Ms. Requiam. Glad she's still around.

I also notice Wendy Gruel has no platform, except taking money from special interest (most notablyRead More her puppet masters at the DWP) and having one of the most negative campaigns I've ever seen......no thanks, negative Wendy, fool me once.....Eric is our next Mayor....
