Did You Know?
If every US household makes its next lightbulb an Energy Star-rated CFL:
- We will save more than $800 million on our national energy bill and 8.4 billion kWh of energy!
- That's enough to power over 808,000 homes for one year – about the number of homes in Boston, Denver, and San Francisco combined!
- In pollution terms, it would be like removing the pollution of 1.2 million cars for one year!
|
* According to www.eia.doe.gov, as of 02/2009, the national average of cost per kWh is $0.0898. Using this and above mentioned figures, cost of savings calculation as follows: { [ ( 100 watts - 26 watts ) x 6000 hours ] / 1000 kWh } x $0.0898 per kW = $39.87 = Potential Electric Bill Cost Savings (per bulb)
