If you are a frequent tea drinker, you can save on energy by using a dedicated tea kettle to heat up your water instead of using the stovetop. One such is on sale at the moment at Amazon, you can get the Hamilton Beach 40880 Stainless Steel Electric Kettle (1.7 Liter = 57.5 fluid ounces = around 7 cups) for $26 with free shipping for Prime members (or with a $35+ order for non-members). You can buy as many as you like.
PS: if you are not familiar with tea-related gadgets, a tea kettle is something that heats water, and a tea pot is something you brew the tea in. It is generally a very good idea to keep the two devices separate. Partly because most kettles are designed for boiling water, not for brewing tea, and most tea pots are designed for brewing tea, not boiling water. Unless you are 100% certain, do not assume you can mix and match!
