Dallas’ Current Energy store full of green options
Current has anything from those cool Dairy Queen-esque twisty light bulbs to the ultimate in Super Toilets.
Perhaps it’s our childhood nerd-crush on Ed Begley, Jr. that’s caused us to transfer our love and devotion to a retail store devoted to eco-conscious, energy-efficient living.
After all, Begley doesn’t just talk the green talk, he also walks the granola walk. If we were all a little more like him, perhaps the planet would be in a teency-bit better shape. But who really knows. We just like to shop.
What we do know is that Current Energy on Knox is more than just the place we walk past after getting a frozen custard from Wild About Harry’s on our way to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store to find out why our XTube videos aren’t loading faster. It actually carries a wide variety of products that can really make a difference in our everyday lives. It’s just taken us nearly a year-and-a-half and two Earth Days to finally check it out.
Whether you’re simply looking for one of those cool Dairy Queen-esque twisty light bulbs or the ultimate in Super Toilets, they’ve got you covered. Plus, they offer plenty of solar-powered goodies, bamboo apparel and even an electric bicycle.
Our favorite part is the knowledgeable store staff. Heck, on one visit a salesperson told us how much they didn’t like a particular wind-powered charging device, the HYmini. We can’t blame ‘em, either. Who wants to buy a product that sounds like a girl’s virginity protector? They should really just discontinue the product if it’s not good, but for now we’re happy they at least tell us the truth – even an inconvenient one.

Just wait till you see him in his ohm pose. He's apparently coming to reality tv. Because we really are that bored.

Watching Ed Begley's solar panels collect sunlight is probably more entertaining than any Lohan or Gotti.

Ok - He already has a reality show...Guess what channel!! Planet Green!! Imagine my surprise when I surfed right into an entire cable network dedicated to “eco-tainment”. And yes, it is very nearly as exciting as it sounds. With shows like Wa$ted, where a very earth-motherly host in Lisa Loeb glasses named Annabelle shames ten lucky families into reducing their ecological footprint. Best show of all is Hollywood Green so we can keep up with what Paris Hilton is doing to save the environment!
Also worth mentioning is the website which covers topics like Toilet Water Colors : Yellow, Brown, and Gray – I $hit you not!
