open4energy - Help Needed to Fight Energy Scams!

Drupal News and Announcements - Sat, 2010-01-02 22:52
popen4energy is an open source publisher of energy saving information and technology. We are a powered by Drupal, and thanks to the free contributed modules, minimal internet hosting fees and no salaries we cover our direct costs./p pThis is a call for the Drupal green community to help do good!/p pThe home energy saving industry has been infected with two malicious families of internet marketed scam products./p p1) The home owner is invited to buy plans for building a simple home energy saving device. These include a magnetically powered perpetual motion generator, a DIY solar panel, and a DIY windmill./p p2) The home owner is offered a free energy audit during which it is shown that their electricity power factor is below 100%. This information is used to scam then into buying a power factor correction device. But consumer electricity costs are not affected by power factor at all./p pIn both of the above, the perpetrators have used their understanding of search, adWord buying and affiliate marketing to flood the internet search engines and small publishers serving ads (mostly Google adSense) with false testimonials, fake case studies, outlandish claims, fake review sites debunking the scam claims, and 100's of affiliates all feeding on unsuspecting energy conscious consumers./p pa href=http://drupal.org/node/672908 target=_blankread more/a/p
