Global Warming

CO2 EMISSIONS BY LIGHT SOURCE

Global warming is the most pressing environmental issue of this century. What does this have to do with how we choose the way we light up our world? US government statistics- power plants in the US produced 2,459,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Almost 32% of the electricity they generated was used for lighting. Get serious about fighting global warming… Make lifestyle choices that will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Most significant thing you can do…simple as L.E.D. Replace traditional lights* with an LED lights Reduce our carbon dioxide emissions by 27.4 million metric tons of CO2 per year! 3 x more carbon dioxide than Costa Rica gives off in whole year.** Global Warming

Mercury Vapor banned in 2008 S.10 Energy Policy Act of 2005 As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on May 26, 2005 SUMMARY: "The legislation would authorize funding for several programs aimed at energy production, conservation, and research and development. It would authorize the use of energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs), make several changes to the regulatory framework governing the nation's electricity system, and establish a mandate for the use of renewable fuels." Section 135 would prohibit the manufacturing and importing of mercury vapor lamp ballasts after January 1, A ballast is an electrical device for starting and regulating fluorescent and certain other lamps. The mercury vapor lamp ballast has been decreasing in its share of the market for ballasts during the last 20 years. Moreover, according to industry contacts, few, if any mercury vapor lamp ballasts are imported into the United States. The majority of such ballasts are manufactured in the United States for domestic use. According to industry sources, mercury vapor lamp ballasts are now only manufactured for rural street lights and residential floodlights. Based on information provided by industry and government sources, the value of annual shipments of such ballasts amounts to about $15 million. The cost of the mandate, measured in lost net income to the industry, would be less than that amount. Energy Efficiency Resources Program. Section 141 would require ratemaking authorities for gas and electric utilities (including states, local municipalities, or co-ops) to either demonstrate that an energy efficiency resource program is in effect or to hold a public hearing regarding the benefits and feasibility of implementing an energy efficiency resources program for electric and gas utilities. CBO estimates no significant costs would result from this requirement. PREVIOUS CBO ESTIMATES Federal Budget Effects On April 19, 2005, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 1640, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on April 13, Like this legislation, H.R would authorize appropriations for a wide array of energy-related activities. Differences between the estimates of spending subject to appropriation under this bill and H.R reflect differences in authorization levels, particularly for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program and activities related to science and coastal impact assistance. Like H.R. 1640, this legislation would authorize FERC to establish an ERO to oversee the nation’s electricity transmission system. Both bills would authorize the new organization to collect and spend fees (which would be classified as revenues). However, H.R would cap those fees at $50 million a year. This legislation contains no such cap; therefore, our estimates of direct spending and revenues related to the proposed ERO are higher than under H.R CBO previously completed two cost estimates for bills that would permanently authorize the use of ESPCs: H.R and H.R. 1533, the Federal Energy Management Improvement Act of CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 1533, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Government Reform, on April 13, Provisions of this legislation and H.R related to ESPCs are similar; however, H.R would cap total payments under ESPCs at $500 million a year. Therefore, our estimate of spending for ESPCs is lower under H.R than under this bill or H.R Also, this bill would authorize the use of ESPCs through 2016.

Global Warming  LEDs contain NO Mercury - Florescent Lights Do   49% of the electricity in the US is produced from coal fired power plants. Besides CO2, power plants emit hazardous substances including: Mercury, Nitrous Oxides, Sculpture Oxides, and others.   LEDs for lighting = 80% less electricity = 80% less substances contaminating our environment = 80% less contact with us.   LEDs last 60 x longer than incandescent lights and 10 x longer than fluorescent lights = less waste = less replacements.   LEDs don’t waste energy as heat = electricity you use for air conditioning inside. * All data and statistics are derived from publicly available data from the source for official energy statistics from the US government.

LED Lamp Features  Ecology – Reduces Global Warming.  Economy – 80 + % less power consumption than traditional lights.  Extended Life -Rated at 50,000 hours which translates to 10 + years maintenance-free product life.  Eliminates - Glare, and night blossoming outside… Stops light pollution!  Excellent Luminosity -Ultra bright, cool white light close to daylight quality, provides bright white light which improves color rendering and improves night visibility to 300% over traditional light sources.  Cost Saving -Save up to $280 per year per light, -2,300 over the product’s lifetime.  GHG (Co2) Reduction  lbs/yr; 10,574 lbs over the lifetime - as much Co2 as the average passenger car produces in 11 months of driving. *(  lbs/yr; 10,574 lbs over the lifetime - as much Co2 as the average passenger car produces in 11 months of driving. *(Based on 1.55 lbs Co2 per kwh, 11,560 lbs Co2 per passenger car per year)   Easy Installation  Modular construction and mounting.  – Modular construction and mounting.
