BSNL, MTS in talks to offer 4G services
However, the deal would be subject to approvals by DoT and is likely only across select circles
State-run telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) is in discussions with MTS, the Indian unit of Russian telecom company Sistema, to offer fourth generation, or 4G, telecom services across the country, through joint branding.
"We are in the final stages of discussions with MTS and are awaiting the government's policy on spectrum sharing and trading, expected to be announced soon," a senior BSNL official told Business Standard.
Currently, MTS offers services to about 10 million subscribers across nine telecom circles, including Delhi, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kolkata and Uttar Pradesh (West), while BSNL offers services in all but two circles - Delhi and Mumbai. Both companies sought to combine their spectrum across circles and offer 'co-branded' services once the rules were out, the official said.
When contacted, an MTS spokesperson said, "All telecom players talk to others. But in the absence of a regulatory framework, it would be premature to comment on this."
Another BSNL official said the company had limited spectrum to offer full-fledged 4G services. At least five MHz is required for such a roll-out.
A deal between BSNL and MTS would, however, be subject to approvals by the Department of Telecommunications and was likely only across select circles, the official added.
It is expected the government will soon announce the guidelines for spectrum sharing and trading. Earlier, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India had recommended allowing the sharing and trading of spectrum among operators.
BSNL, which doesn't have 4G spectrum, plans to offer these services through two routes: First, through Wi-Fi (it plans to integrate its Wi-Fi to 2G and 3G networks and act as a 4G hotpsot for mobile subscribers) and second, through partnerships with private telecom players, according to the company official. BSNL aims to roll out 4G services by next year.
While Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio is expected to roll out 4G services by next month, Bharti Airtel, India's largest telecom operator, has already launched these services across 23 cities.
"BSNL will invest Rs 39,000 crore in the next five years, a major chunk of it on data. The focus is on improving core network capabilities, as we intend to exploit data. Last year, BSNL's losses were around Rs 7,600 crore and in the previous year, around Rs 8,000 crore. So, losses have already started coming down. We expect the company's accounts to be in shape by 2018-19," Chairman and Managing Director Anupam Shrivastava told Business Standard in a recent interview.
Two days strike on 21st and 22nd April, 2015 is a grand success. We congratulate all the BSNL Executives and Non-Executives for making grand success of two days strike on 21st and 22nd April 2015 throughout the country.
Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations gave call for two days strike to protest against the un-helping and indifferent attitude of the DoT/Govt. and failure of the BSNL Management in providing equipment and material to field units which has adversely affected the viability of BSNL. Forum leaders will shortly meet and decide the strategies to give a call for indefinite strike shortly.
We extend our sincere thanks to all our members for their active participation in the strike and request all the CHQ office bearers, Circle/Branch Secretaries to keep ready for the next harder trade union action program in terms of indefinite strike. Let us, keep the environment hot to make next struggle a great success to defeat the wrong policies of the Govt.

Shri R.P. Shahu, General Secretary in his addressed mentioned that due to the decision of the present BSNL board to introduce the free roaming and night free calling, the feeling of the general public is overwhelming and expressed his gratitude to the CMD and Board members of BSNL. He stated that It is also noticed that the present CMD is taking confidence of the associations and unions for the decisions he is taking and feels like participating management. BSNL's present management has started recognizing the internal talent of the executives, which will help the BSNL in its growth. He has pointed that in order to compete with the private operators, level playing is must which is not available with the BSNL. There is no flexibility with the BSNL as compared to the private operators. He mentioned that though the Indian population is in need to keep and use the BSNL mobile services, the acute shortage of GSM materials which is directly affecting the services, does not permit BSNL to meet the requirement of the customer. BSNL instead of waiting for the customer to attend the CSC, should commence visiting the customers in the name of customer driven centre. He also pointed that unless the problems of the employees are sorted out, their mind will not be free to serve the customers. He also opined that best employees of the cadre should be posted in the CSCs after interview, if needed. Employees grievance cell will have to be formed at circle level and head quarter level. There is a heavy misuse of diesel / petrol expenses which needs to be controlled by stringent monitoring and action to save the revenue leakage. He pointed out that the retirement benefit is the integral part of the service conditions and benefits. In any PSU there is no different pay scale for the direct recruited executives, except BSNL and MTNL. He pointed out that BSNL executives are not allowed to appear for the DGM exam is absolute injustice against the executives just because, they have joined in BSNL.
Shri A.K. Kaushik, General Secretary, TEAM in his speech mentioned that the presence of the CMD BSNL has changed the scenario and all are comfortable. If the management start understanding its employees and their problems, there is no need for BSNL to appoint any experts in any field. The strong confidence of CMD BSNL and CMD MTNL on its work force is tremendous and overwhelming. He mentioned that the executives of MTNL and BSNL were the erstwhile DoT employees and were separated by the policy of the Govt. we should not be afraid of the competition. We should concentrate on the quality of service. No person recruited from outside can give any output which the internal executives with experience cannot do. The private operators has come to such a situation with the support and work of the ex-executives of BSNL / MTNL only. He requested Director (CFA) to take up the case of merger of BSNL & MTNL to get the PAN India status for the Govt. service provider. He expressed his sincere gratitude for giving an opportunity to address the gathering and to meet the old friends of DoT era.
Shri Saibal Sen Gupta, Convenor, Joint Forum, Kolkata expressed his gratitude for inviting him and giving an opportunity to address the gathering. He has mentioned that the CMD BSNL has mentioned in the earlier CWC of AIBSNLEA at Hyderabad that the 2.5 Lakh work force is quite enough to revive the BSNL and the same CMD is now confident that within 6 to 7 months, BSNL can improve a lot. He wished the conference a very success.
Shri Shameem Akhtar, Sr. GM (SR), BSNLCO, New Delhi in his speech extended gratitude for inviting him for the meeting. He mentioned that as the regular Director (HR) was not available, many HR issues could not be settled. Now since the new Director (HR) has joined, under the guidance of the present dynamic CMD, many of the issues will be settled at the earliest. He has presented a poem on BSNL services in the name …. Jai Bharat Sanchar Nigam ….. and also another poem viz. ek aur parivatan kar lo….., customer ko kush kar lo….. , ek aur parivarthan kar lo………
Shri Kishore Kumar, CGM, BSNL, West Bengal Telecom. Circle in his speech mentioned that the concept of I with We is better for the welfare of the organization. We creates the feeling of togetherness. The 'man' managing the machines are behind the growth of the organization and not the machines. The level of attachment with the organization by the workforce will improve the organization. The present situation is that, we have to manage and market and every individual has to work as marketing executives. The customer interface officer / staff is the best marketing manager. Every employee has immense capacity and only will have to channelize the power for the benefit of the organization. He requested everyone to Involve fully in their work with devotion so that they can given more output. He extended gratitude to AIBSLEA and AIGETOA for extending invitation.
Shri K.C. Ghosh, G.M Kolkata telephone on behalf of Shri Amit Bhatacharjee, CGM, Kolkata Telephones addressed the gathering. In his address he has extended thanks for inviting him in the function. He mentioned that the ERP has been fully implemented in the country and everybody is taking benefit of it which was the innovation of the present Director (CFA). Every area, Kolkata telephones is facing problem and the newly introduced plan of night free call has started getting back the customers. Kolkata telephone has the potential and there is a need of dedication and shouldering more responsibilities. Wished best wishes for the conference.
Shri N.K. Gupta, Director (CFA), BSNL Board, New Delhi in his speech appreciated the G.S. AIBSNLEA and mentioned that even when there is a difference of opinion, GS AIBSNLEA always prefer to sit together and talk. As per MoC, Govt. is expecting efficiency in the service. He also mentioned that the present CMD is taking everybody into confidence and he is one of the best editor. The free call offer by the BSNL to the Nepal during its crisis was appreciated by one and all. Free incoming and free night call has been introduced and is much beneficial for the BSNL and highly appreciated at highest level. We have to en-cash these schemes for the benefit of BSNL. These schemes were introduced with full unity amongst all the senior officers of various disciplines without any hurdle which was the need of the hour accordingly to everyone. These schemes can confess to earn the revenue. WIFI hotspot between two BTSs is one of the scheme being introduced very shortly. This will give increase in data traffic. Phase I of the NGN has already been implemented and phase II tender is under process to float the same. NGN will be convergent system with both benefit of landline and mobile. Convergent billing is one another system being proposed and introduced shortly. Conversions of 512 kbps customers to 2 Mbps is one of the another proposal in pipeline to introduce.
He pointed out that the quality of service is very low as low as 30% in some of the circles. The present customer base does not bother about the tariff which is much less and they expect to get the service when they are in need of it for which, we need to improve in service quality. He extended thanks to both AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA. He also mentioned that some of the suggestions given by both the General Secretaries are very excellent and will have some more round of discussion with them and will try to implement it.
Shri Anupam Srivastava, CMD, BSNL, New Delhi – CMD termed the unity of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA as Youth and energy on the one side and wisdom and experience on the other side. He mentioned that the language of affection and respect communicated by the leaders brought him in the meeting. He mentioned that he was to attend the meeting with the MoC and due to the commitment, he requested the MoC who has agreed to spare him to attend this meeting. He mentioned that as on today also BSNL is not depended upon any govt. loan. The salary expenses of 15000 cr of BSNL is total expenses of Air India and many other companies.
CMD mentioned that despite of losses which is mainly due to depreciation, BSNL is able to meet our operational and salary expenses by our own without depending on the Govt. Next two years are most important for our country because many things are depends on the performance and unless we improve we cannot get salary revise by PRC when other govt. organizations will get such benefit. We have already started discussing many things with associations / unions and want to get the benefit of the schemes already introduced recently by way of night call free and roaming free. The decision to introduce this scheme was taken in the right time when the IUC was coming in our favour. The only solution is to improve the customer base is that the Officers and associations and unions should join hands together. With the introduction of free night calling in landline and free all India roaming in mobile services, turn around has already started in BSNL. In the month of July 15 BSNL got maximum connections in the mobile sector among all the operators and the number of connections just doubled. CMD requested that now its' the turn of the executives and non-executives to give momentum to this turn around by maximizing the connections by organizing Melas and Shivirs. We have to encash these schemes before they lose their shelf life. Earlier the numbers of customers joining were less than that of the customers leaving the BSNL. The people's perception of service providers are same amongst all the service providers as on to today. He stated that within the next 7 to 8 months, if we can improve the BSNL revenue. He mentioned that earlier the companies like ITIL and Air India could not get benefits of the pay revision. But he expressed confidence that with support of entire work force, we will work with full dedication and God willing, we will all get the benefit of 3rd PRC.
CMD has mentioned that next two years are very important for survival of BSNL and has instructed all the Circle Heads to take employees unions / associations in full confidence and push ahead for more and more connections so that benefits of roll out of two major schemes can be reaped.
He also stated that the intra circle roaming facility with other operators has to be taken care of. Till 2006 BSNL was number one company in both mobile and fixed line. From 2006 to 2012 the market was penetrating, we were coming down in customer base. When other operators are adding new sites every month BSNL is unable to do so due to lack of capital. Still we have to make many investment in the way of towers which cannot be done with the present financial condition and therefore, we may be going ahead with the tie up with other service providers for roaming. A new company in the form of tower subsidiary will be in full control of BSNL and said that asset depreciation loss can be passed to new company and profit of new company can be reaped to BSNL by saving taxes. Only we have to see that company structure is such that it remains under BSNL control and with active support of all unions and associations, he will try his best to ensure that.
He mentioned that Shri N. K. Gupta, Director (CFA) is an asset to the BSNL management. The recently introduced scheme of night free calling is the brain child of Shri N.K. Gupta and we should appreciate his efforts. CMD mentioned that has been appointed as CMD by the Govt. for a period of one year. In case the performance of the BSNL is not improved, he will have to leave the BSNL. He has also mentioned that in turn similarly a half year performance review is going to take place in September 2015 and where there is no performance improvement, the head of Circles / SSA will have to move to the place where they do not like to go. He also mentioned that many circles like Rajasthan and M.P. circles along with southern circles have started improving.
He mentioned that corruption affects the working. Pure corruption is corruption of money and not working is also a corruption (work chori) from which, we have to run away, then only we can improve.
As regards the HR issues, CMD mentioned that he is fully convinced and the executives are entitled to get their eligible dues and assured to settle all the HR issues in time bound manner. The management is fully convinced of the HR issues and the next 2 years are most important. He requested the work force to put best efforts for increasing the revenue for the next two years, as if the BSNL comes in profit, many issues will be automatically resolves. All should take care of BSNL so that my people and employees should get 3rd PRC benefits.
CMD before concluding his speech requested every one to take the following pledge.
Dhan ki Chori Nahi Karengie
Kam ki Chori Nahi Karengie
BSNL ko Aage Badayengie.
3rd PRC Benefit Leke Rahenge
Shri Ravi Shil Verma, President, AIGETOA CHQ in his vote of thanks on behalf of both the associations assured the Director (CFA) tha the executives will meet the expectations of the CMD and Director (CFA). He also requested Director (CFA) to make use of his good office to pass and get the approval of the pay revision of young executives from DoT and Govt.. He opined to commence a Death relief scheme in BSNL which is available in many PSUs which will benefit the employees and executives of BSNL. He extended thanks to CMD and Director (CFA), All the CGMs, GM (SR) and G.Ms and other officers, Veteran leaders for being present and addressing the gathering. He also extended thanks to one and all for participating and making the function a grant success. .
The session ended with National Anthem.

Looking good! Being able to blow up walls seems like a fun concept! Maybe some spells could do it too?
ALPHAFUNDING +FAILED+ | TEAM GOT DISPERSED In order to continue development, we have to put a new team together, and fund the game through alternative source of funding. That will take some time. This project has not been abandoned. Unless information comes from the official source, please disregard online rumors. Indie game dev is a very tough business and the year 2013 is even tougher due to many new indie studios funded by former AAA developers. Competition for human resources and funding is fierce. People who believed it the game and ordered alpha - huge thank you, you will never be forgotten and when the game is resurrected, we will make it up to you, somehow. Thank you for understanding.
Looking good! Being able to blow up walls seems like a fun concept! Maybe some spells could do it too?
Maybe, if people will start buying into alpha funding ;)
Maybe try releasing an alpha and try to get your game into an indie royale pack to booster your support.
IndieRoyale refused to let us participate.
Alpha is available at Tom.kot-in-action.com
Awesome as...I would really like to see a demo version to play
Here is some information on modding and scripting in Tomes of Mephistopheles for anyone interested: Kot-in-action.com
cant wait for this to come out, demo or not, ill buy it :D
You can also buy this game direct from their website for 10$ also!
Game is very solid for what it is and the demo is really the Alpha video. Not much to do in the game yet but, this game looks like it's going to be one of the years best when finished! Support the team guys and grab a copy!!!
Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.

It started just with the socks, then he graduated to shirt removal. Then pants.
I knew it was just a matter of time...
The last time it happened, I was up in his room, reading him the riot act (2-year old style) and Calvin ran up to get in on the action.
Calvin: Oh look! Silas threw his animals out of his crib! ha ha!
Mommy: (grrrr) No, I threw them out.
Calvin: Why?
Mommy: Because Silas took his clothes off and went pee-pee in his crib.
Calvin: Oh, well I wondered why it smelled like urine in here.
I could just end this post right there, because it pretty much sums up my life.
I say "pee-pee", Calvin says "urine".
Who taught him the word "urine"? I can't even say it with a straight face!
As you can imagine, and maybe you know from experience, it's no fun stripping sheets off a crib every day.
I put on my thinking cap.
I came up with this:
{Or, as Ruby would say, "Nap pajams".}
The first time he wore them I went to get him from his nap and he said, "I tuck! I doe no? I tuck! I doe no?"
He was stuck.
He didn't know how to get unstuck.
Poor lil' Thang.
The funny thing is? He's never been a better napper.
It almost makes me think I need a pair.

War crimes are not necessarily committed by nations. Civilians, soldiers or paramilitary personnel can be guilty of these types of crimes. There are two types of war crimes: crimes against peace and crimes against humanity. You can be complicit in war crimes merely by enabling the commission of these heinous acts. You can commit crimes against humanity by giving weapons to war criminals knowing their predilection for such acts; giving them haven so as to assure their ability to continue war crimes; you can give them intelligence and guidance in the prosecution of an act of violence sufficient to meet the requirements of war crimes; you can finance their crimes by sending money. Fighting a war of aggression through proxies is a mere fig leaf that provides little protection against such charges.
Once again, we are confronted with the unpleasant realization that the self-righteous West is complicit in overt war crimes; this time, against the sovereign state and people of Syria. And these are "grave breaches" for they are the result of planning, purposefulness or pure recklessness.
Article 2131 of the U.N. Charter requires that all disputes between nations be settled by peaceful means. Force can only be used under Article 33 if negotiations, inquiry, conciliation, mediation and recourse to the courts have not been fruitful.
Isn't he charming, with that toothy grin? Why, he's just another Franz Fanon. What would Fanon have thought about the rise of Islamism? What would he have thought of Obama?
The leaders of NATO countries like the U.K. (Cameron) and France (Sarkozy) conspired with President Obama to overthrow the government of Libya, a member-state of the U.N. They did it through pure chicanery; to wit: snookering the Chinese and Russians into believing that a U.N. resolution to "protect civilians" from the threats of annihilation reportedly issued by Libya's then-leader, Muammar Gaddafi, was necessary prevent any such wholesale slaughter. We know what happened next. NATO forces, robustly supported by the U.S., bombed the far-superior military loyal to Gaddafi and midwifed an Islamist take-over of the government by a grouping of riff-raff, Barbary apes, Islamist goons and the like. Gaddafi was captured by these savages and executed after being sodomized with his riding crop.
Gaddafi was shot in the head with his own pistol by an aboriginal teenager who smiled proudly at the cameras, absorbing the love and appreciation of a race of savages.
But that was not enough. And it's not enough that the U.S. ambassador to Libya was killed yesterday by a mob of screaming imbeciles who were so incensed by an Israeli's movie about Muhammad that they felt our diplomats in Benghazi should pay the ultimate price. Aren't we all proud of our role in overthrowing Gaddafi in Libya?
But in Syria, the U.S. is not acting pursuant to any U.N. resolution authorizing action. The Russians and Chinese say: "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me". Russia and China have vetoed three disgracefully unbalanced resolutions authorizing sanctions and force against Syria for the reason that they would have opened the door, once again, for regime change. These insane resolutions were proposed and supported by America's pscho-lying virago, Susan Rice (no relation to psycho-liar Condoleeza).
It all started with an unprecedented media war in the West designed to move public opinion in the direction of some NATO intercession in the uprising against Dr. Bashar Al-Assad. But that did not work. CIA and MI6 special teams working with cognitive models to influence attitudes about foreign intervention faltered as news started to come in through alternative media about Islamism, anti-Christian behavior, Assad's secularism and the unbearable cost of a new war in the Islamic World. People in the U.S., France and the U.K. were not keen on any more expensive adventures. So, as a fall-back, the media was coached by the State Department and Whitehall to rally support for the insurgent terrorists by constantly misreporting the news, demonizing the Syrian Army and humanizing the savages who were taking apart a successful Near Eastern country. And all this because of Syria's relationship to Iran, Hizbullah and Hamas.
In addition to this, the U.S. and its Western allies tried to build up a doppelganger government in exile, an effort which came a cropper as the organization called the Syrian American Council fell more and more into a state of disunity, ideological stasis, and political entropy. Recently, Mrs. Clinton, premiere termagant and lightning rod for humiliation, shunned the SNC in Paris demonstrating U.S. disinterest in a political solution involving Guelph's and Ghibelline's.
The descent into war crimes began when the U.S. started to indirectly give military support to the Islamist terrorists. Syrian-Americans, Sunni fanatics to a man and woman, were permitted to do what Palestinians could not: send money to support a movement in their homeland – a movement curiously reeking of terrorism. The money, we know, was converted into arms bought through Turkey, Czech Republic, Austria and France. Later, the U.S. would begin sending what the W.H. claimed was "non-lethal" equipment such as night-vision lenses, mine detectors and helmets. But the U.S. also started to share intelligence with the terrorists based in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. In Jordan, U.S. Special Ops teams are literally "directing" the operations of the terrorist killers. We also know, that the U.S. has Sp.Oper. teams inside Syria.
France has given the terrorists arms, intel and ordnance. France announced yesterday that it was going to start sending "heavy weapons" to the terrorists. How this is going to be done is anyone's guess. The Turks, for example, may not like having Islamists with cannons on their soil.
The Germans are giving the terrorists something more substantial: actual plans, intel, intel-intercepts, satint, explosives and training. Mrs. Merkel is deep into the war crimes conspiracy and might not be able to use her legendary wiles to slink out of this one. She is a bag of Kartoffeln ready for the frying pan.
The U.K.'s Cameron fresh from his drubbing in Libya has the same problems as France. His S.P. units are in Turkey directing terrorists in the art of extreme terrorism. No U.N. resolution here. Just British arrogance.
The Saudis and Qataris need no great detailing. Saud Al-Faisal, the stuttering, bumbling, stumbling Saudi F.M. has already admitted his country's direct involvement in sending weapons to terrorists in countries surrounding Syria. Qatar's bloated Prince Hamad, Husband of Madame Banana, is also on record plastering himself with indictments for arming a terrorist movement to overthrow the legitimate government of a sovereign country like Syria.
But Turkey is the biggest and the most vile of all these criminals. Turkey trains and grants haven to the Islamist terrorists. Turkey protects them and allows them to use its territory to infiltrate Syria to commit acts which are brazen violations of international law as they relate to war crimes. Erdoghan, Gul and Davutoglu must face the tribunal at the U.N.'s War Crimes Court unless the army makes them face the hangman.
How long does a rope have to be for a male 4'8″ tall? When this murderer's neck is snapped, the innocent people of Syria will breathe the air of secularism once again.
Are these acts by the named actors (U.S., U.K. France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) deliberate? Yes.
Are they done knowingly? Yes.
Are they crimes against peace? Yes. NATO support is not apparently for peace, that's for sure.
Is the support of these state actors resulting in the deaths of civilians? Yes.
Are there indiscriminate bombings? Yes. Car bombs have killed many in Damascus and Aleppo.
Have the terrorists killed defenseless soldiers? Yes. Read yesterday's blog on Aleppo and you will see.
Is there a plan to make war on Syria? Yes. No court can avoid the conclusion that these acts are the result of planning, coordination and conspiracy.
Has the U.S., U.K., France and German exhausted all methods for resolution of this conflict? No.
Do the acts of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Victoria Nuland, David Cameron, Nicolas Sarkozy, Francois Hollande, Angela Merkel, Gerhard Schindler, King Abdallah bin Saud, Prince Hamad bin Saud, Recep Tayyip Erdoghan, Abdallah Gul and Ahmet Davutoglu and many unnamed actors, amount to war crimes? The answer must be "YES".
Will these villains be brought to justice? Only Russia and China have the moral obligation and international credibility to bring indictments against these criminals. We hope Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is reading this post and will take action to see that justice is done for the sake of the people of Syria, its government and the honor of the United Nations.

Total Energy Load: Deep Energy Retrofits aim to reduce the total energy load by more than 50% (our project shoots for 75% savings). To figure your total energy usage add all your utility and energy bills including oil, gas, wood, electric, etc. in dollars and cents. Seriously, take a few minutes and add it all up. Pretty impressive, eh? Most people have no idea how much of their income is spent on energy.
Now, think of how good it would be to cut those costs in half or more! Throughout the Deep Energy Retrofitting process we'll be looking for ways to reduce the use of all energy consumption including lighting, hot water, and appliances.
First and Foremost:
Reduce total home energy load by increasing R-values, reducing infiltration, and minimizing electrical use. This is the #1 take home message. Maybe it seems obvious, but all too often the first question we hear is — What's the cheapest fuel? How much solar can I put on my roof? Can I use a geothermal heating system?
THE BUCKET ANALOGY: To put this into perspective, let's use the bucket analogy. Say your home now uses a 3 buckets worth of energy. If you continue to fill the same 3 buckets, it might save you 5% of the buckets if you spend $8-12,000 on a new heating system, or a solar hot water (Myth buster #3), or new windows (Myth buster #1). But, you still have to fill 3 buckets.
Now, let's say you spend the same $8-12,000 on a Deep Energy Retrofit and reduce the number of the buckets (total energy load) by 65% to 1 bucket by improving your home's thermal envelope (R-value of walls, attic, basement), reducing air leaks, and reducing electrical use.
Suddenly it's a lot easier to fill and pay for that 1 bucket regardless of whether the energy comes from wood, solar, gas, etc. PLUS, your home is now more confortable and evenly heated from top to bottom.
Now if you want to add a solar hot water system, a new boiler, or new windows it might save you 20-30% because the single bucket is so much easier to fill and yielding a faster pay back on your investment. Plus, when you need to replace that old heating system, it can be smaller in size, complexity, and cost because the heating load is less.
Conserving energy (smaller bucket) is 5-10 times more cost-effective than generating energy or changing fuels to fill same old big bucket. Spend your money on conservation first. Then other improvements can be phased in as time and budgets allow. A long-term master plan for your home is very good idea to avoid unanticipated problems.
