Citizens for Clean Energy posted a blog postLightbulb Madness
In modern homes, there can be well over 100 light bulbs inside and outside?!?!The 60 watts that an incandescent bulb used would be reduced to 8 watts using an LED. The 200 bulb hours a day for our modern house would now be reduced from 12kwh per day to to 1.6kwh per day, 48 KWh per month, or 585kwh per year. That’s a savings of 3,715kwh a year switching from 60 watt incandescent to LED. Needless to say the savings of 3,715 kwh a year is more than 150% greater than the usage of the 2,400…See More

Sunset Middle school is participating in our "Energy Stars for Education Program. We presented the Watt's Up program to Ms. Lewis's 6th Grade Science Classes. In the first session we introduced the Program, learned about Efficiency and Apollo 13 and Learned about LEDs. We measured watts in a test fixture with classroom lights and the new Low Wattage Spectrally enhanced lights. We calculated the potental energy savings from changing the classroom lighting to Spectrally Enhanced Low Wattage…See More

Clean Energy
We can all do something to move towards clean energy.
We must reinvent the future and make change happen at speed and at scale.
To avert climate disaster, we have to vote with our words, our actions and our cash.
We need to recycle our politicians, but that is not enough.
Efficiency is key, as it can be adopted quickly and at a profit to the adopter.
Renewable Energy is near parity and we expect $1.00 per watt PV panels, a Feed in Tarriff, and Zero Percent On Bill Financing as we transition to a distributed renewable energy system.
While we're not there yet, we need to get there and we can only do this if we work together.
In these efforts we support the work of the following organizations:
