Save Energy and Money by Changing your Light Bulbs
The light bulb Thomas Edison invented and made famous may be on its way out in the coming years, at least in the Golden State. California State Assemblyman Lloyd Levine recently introduced legislation that would ban the sale of incandescent light bulbs by 2012. This legislation, titled the “How Many Legislators Does it take to Change a Light Bulb Act,” (say that 5 times fast) touts the benefits of energy-saving light bulbs, such as the increasingly popular Compact Fluorescent bulb or CFL, and the up-and-coming Led Bulb.
The highly inefficient incandescent bulb converts only 5 percent of the energy it receives into light while pouring thousands of tons of carbon dioxide into the earth’s atmosphere, as opposed to the CFL, which has a whopping 10,000 hour life span and uses only 180 kWh over those 10,000 hours. The incandescent bulb, or bulbs, as multiple would be needed, uses 750 kWh over that same 10,000 hour time frame.
Many other states are likely to follow as scorching summers are making rolling blackouts and brownouts a normal occurrence. Wide use of efficient bulbs would drastically reduce the energy drain year round, but would make a huge difference in the summer when air conditioners are running for months on end in some parts of the country.
What you can do is lead the charge starting now—why wait until 2012 or however long it takes to get legislation through the hoops of the political process. CFL’s may cost a bit more up front, but can save you around $55 per bulb over the course of a year. Count the number of incandescent bulbs in your home now and then count the money you’ll save. Eco-Lights.com has trumpeted the use of energy efficient bulbs since its inception in 2003 and has one of the largest selections of solar and Energy Star approved lighting fixtures on the web. Do your part and switch to compact fluorescent bulbs today.

Everything about Solar Panels?!?
I'm doing a project for school where I will buy a solar panel and utilize/improve the power output of the panel. I want the panel to have an improved amount of energy output compared to the original. My budget for the solar panel itself is ~$100. Anything else that will be needed is covered.
Also, I will be comparing the power by lighting a light bulb and checking to see the output energy of the panel.
Where or how should I approach this project?
What are the parts of the solar panel that I will need to buy?
What factors could I change/improve to improve the overall energy output?
What are the things (other than the panel) that I will need to buy?
How can I attach a light bulb to the solar panel?
Solar Power is one of the cleanest sources of energy that is virtually free. No wonder the demand for solar energy has gone through the roof in recent years. The energy crisis along with a desire to reduce the carbon footprint has made solar power the number one alternative source of energy among homeowners.
The cost associated with a professionally installed solar system can be very high, ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. Because of this, a lot of homeowners have turned to DIY solar energy. A DIY, or Do-It-Yourself solar system can be fun to build and thousands of dollars cheaper than a professionally installed solar system. If you want to go the DIY route, the first thing you will need is a high quality guidebook to walk you through the process of equipping your home with solar power.
The Earth4Energy eBook is one of the most popular guidebooks about making your own solar power. Not only does it include a hefty, information filled eBook, it also has a lot of video walk throughs that detail every step involved in making your home energy efficient and environment friendly. The low upfront cost of $49.97 makes it a very cost effective solution to solving your clean energy needs.
The Earth4Energy eBook consists of several sections that deal with clean energy in general, and solar power in particular. If you have ever been curious about how solar power works, or its benefits, you will find the Earth4Energy eBook to be quite handy. After that, you can dive into the meat of the book - a step-by-step guide to making your own solar panels to harvest solar energy. While it may sound complicated, homemade solar panels are quite easy to build, especially with the kind of easy-to-follow steps that Earth4Energy outlines.
Of course, some people may find the written instructions a bit difficult to follow. Hence, Earth4Energy also includes a comprehensive video course that details every step involved in building a solar energy system.
As a bonus, the Earth4Energy eBook also has several sections devoted to wind power and how you can harvest it for electricity. This bonus, along with the detailed focus on solar power make the Earth4Energy eBook one of the best guides to harvesting the power of the sun in your very backyard.
