I think this is called a parody, which is well deserved due to the lack of info provided by the op. Based on the question given, one can only speculate. I believe the point of this satire is to encourage the poster to be more clear in what he or she wants help with.

I suppose many of us have become cynical, but it comes with the forum turf I guess.

If someone post with such a lack of clarity, then the reader may assume in such a way and provide a similar response. If a serious response is wanted, then more attention in writing the post should be given.

Sorry for my rant guys, I guess I was in one of those moods...:)

It always seems that one of the things listed above has hit the media as the "way" to save the planet and I get sick of hearing it.

When someone asks an obtuse question you get a blunt answer.
 
Third world lazy student energy saver - get someone else to do the work.

Yeah, but he left out what I think is the most likely answer - the one colin55 mentioned.
 
You mean the one I mentioned here?

Or By "energy saver" do you mean the capacitor bank you put on the load center?
That's easy! Put a capacitor bank on your load center!
 
Close, still going to need an APFC circuit.
 
Well he didn't say active or passive, matter of fact he didn't say much...

But I didn't leave it out
