Maybe look into physical or cloud mining.

Current Energy Efficiency Statistics:

As of November 12, 2013
Market Cap: (Bitinfocharts)
Bitcoin    11,984,125 BTC
Peercoin        37,439 BTC

Hash Rate:
Bitcoin 5.1Q
Peercoin 12.25T

Value secured by a Giga Hash
 Bitcoin:     11,984,125 / 5,100,000 =   2.35  bitcoins secured per GH
 Peercoin:       37,439 /       12,250 = 3.06    bitcoins worth of Peercoins secured per GH

Calculation:
(3.06 - 2.35) / 2.35 = .302 (or 30.2%)

Conclusion:
Peercoin is currently 30.2% more energy efficient than Bitcoin. I would think that this energy efficiency should increase over time as well.

I was at 1 of the PPC forums and it seems that after some calculation, you can get more BTC via mining for PPC first. What do you guys think?
