Our group is doing are one project on reinventing the dryer, so it does not use electricity.  The idea is fairly simple; we use hit from the fire place and use a bike to spin the dryer.  However, I am guessing most people in the world are too lazy to buy this.  While looking into dryers, I found this link.  This dryer seems like a great way to save energy.  It is basically a dryer that automatically stops when your clothes are dry.  That is great news because I can’t tell you how many times I have used a dryer and came back and it feels like my clothes have been roasting for 20 minutes longer than they should have.  Using a dryer about an hour a day every day a year, which is close to how my family does, will cost the user $200 a year in electricity making this dryer worth wild.
