Energy 2013 - Big (Unexciting) Things

Big (but unexciting?) energy related things for new year.
Solar and renewable/alternative energy get better all the time.
But perhaps it is about using energy better?

Cherry picking energy related items from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emerging_technologies
whilst taking the position/measure that each needs to be available now or soon at local retail. Will follow-up with brief entry on each.
  • LED lighting
  • Advanced insulation (and thermal surveys)
  • Batteries and energy storage
More forward looking and service oriented...
  • Energy surveys 
  • Longterm or broad analysis (continuous and big data)
  • Sensors (motes) everywhere to fire the data engine
  • Better behavioural research
