If you read the Yale Blog, so much of the energy efficient tips are incredibly easy. We are going out of the way to waste money. We will keep a car for only 3-4 years, but will keep our water heater until it dies.
I am not a paragon of virtue by any means as I was showering with lukewarm water for 3 months, but the following is a synopsis of the benefits of change to better technology just in our industry:
Refrigerators: 100% more efficient than 10 years ago
Washers: 62% more efficient with 62% greater capacity
Fluorescent versus Incandescent: Lasts 10 times longer, 4 times more efficient with less heat
There is an immediate payback to any Energystar product and yearly cost savings
