Saving energy is always less expensive than generating it.
|
Energy efficiency improves energy security and reliability.
|
Energy efficiency is so important because it is so effective.
|
Greater energy savings means lower Carbon emissions and less local pollution.
|
The primary source of greenhouse gas emissions in the developing world comes from dirty, hazardous and expensive fuel-based sources such as kerosene for lighting.
|
Replacing a 75-watt incandescent light bulb with a 20-watt compact fluorescent saves 1,300 pounds (590 kilograms) of carbon dioxide over the life of the bulb.
|
Average life of a 75-watt incandescent bulb is roughly 750 hours, while the life of an energy-efficient bulb is 10,000 hours.
|
It takes perhaps three years to get a wind farm from planning to operation; a light bulb can be changed tomorrow.
|
Electric lighting burns up to 25% of the average home energy budget.
|
LED lamps, or more specifically white LEDS, are believed to produce nearly 200 times more useful light than a kerosene lamp and almost 50 times the amount of useful light of a conventional bulb.
|
LED technology can light an entire rural village with less energy than that used by a single conventional 100 watt light bulb."
|
No lighting system is more flexible or attractive than solar lights Solar energy lights the lamp free of charge. Because of Solar Technology, "Life doesn't halt anymore when darkness falls."
|
Solar energy is free - it needs no fuel and produces no waste or pollution.
|
Fluorescent lamps cut greenhouse gas emissions and running costs by 75% while producing as much light.
|
Fluorescent Lamps are about 3 to 5 times as efficient as standard incandescent lamps and can last about 10 to 20 times longer.
