What is CERT?

What is fracking?

What is an LED?


Question What is CERT?

  • The Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) requires all domestic energy suppliers with a customer base in excess of 50,000 customers to make savings in the amount of CO2 emitted by householders. Suppliers meet this target by promoting the uptake of low carbon energy solutions to household energy consumers, thereby assisting them to reduce the carbon footprint of their homes.



Question What is fracking?

  • Fracking is a method of extracting natural gas from the ground by injecting water and chemicals into deep wells at high pressure. The process breaks apart the underground rock, releasing the gas so that it can be captured. Some argue that fracking can address the need for a cleaner source of domestic energy by providing an alternative to oil and coal.

    However, there is mounting evidence of the negative impacts that fracking has on the groundwater, given that the hazardous chemicals used are exempted from the Safe Drinking Water Act.



Question What is an LED?

  • LED stands for light-emitting diode. These impressive little lights are found in tons of different applications and devices. They produce the numbers in your digital clock, transmit information from your remote control, light up your watch, and tell you when your toaster is on. Unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs which use a filament that can burn out, LEDs are illuminated by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material.

    LEDs generally cost more than incandescents or CFLs but they use less energy and last significantly longer.
