Swap Your Lightbulbs and Save the Earth

There is a new study out by the American Council for an Energy-Free Economy. here is an excerpt:

"Saving a kilowatt-hour through energy efficiency improvements is easily one-third or less the cost of any new source of electricity supply, whether conventional fossil fuel or renewable energy source."

We have already been hearing how fluorescent and/or LED lighting can save many kilowatt hours compared to incandescent. This study reinforces the notion that replacing energy hogging incandescent light bulbs in your home can contribute mightily to reducing global warming.

A penny saved is a penny earned, and a kilowatt hour saved is THREE kilowatt hours earned!
