Feel free to use the following facts to develop outreach materials or other content in support of the ENERGY STAR Change a Light, Change the World Campaign in Alabama.

If all the households in Alabama took the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge at www.energystar.gov/changealight, and changed just one incandescent light bulb to an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, the combined individual efforts would have the following impacts*:

Alabama could save up to 90 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. This is enough energy to light all the households in Montgomery, Alabama, for nearly 220 days!

Based on the average electrical rate in Alabama, the amount of energy saved would reduce household electrical bills by a combined total of $7.7 million a year.

Alabama would prevent over 139 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year! This is equivalent to removing the annual emissions of more than 12 thousand cars from Alabama’s roadways!

CALCULATE YOUR OWN FUN FACTS!

Use the formula below to calculate the savings for your community, organization or household for each bulb changed to an ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb. This formula is based on changing a 60 Watt incandescent bulb to a 13 Watt ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulb. “X” equals the number of bulbs you are changing.

“If “X” incandescent light bulbs were changed to ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs, you would save ___kWh, $___ in energy costs, and ___pounds of greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime.”

kWh saved = “X” light bulbs multiplied by 282$ saved = kWh saved multiplied by your energy cost ($.093 is national average over CFL lifetime)Pounds of greenhouse gases = “X” light bulbs multiplied by 409

CALCULATE YOUR OWN FUN FACTS!

Use the formula below to calculate the savings for your community, organization or household for each bulb changed to an ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb. This formula is based on changing a 60 Watt incandescent bulb to a 13 Watt ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulb. “X” equals the number of bulbs you are changing.

“If “X” incandescent light bulbs were changed to ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs, you would save ___kWh, $___ in energy costs, and ___pounds of greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime.”

kWh saved = “X” light bulbs multiplied by 282$ saved = kWh saved multiplied by your energy cost ($.093 is national average over CFL lifetime)Pounds of greenhouse gases = “X” light bulbs multiplied by 409

Feel free to use the following facts to develop outreach materials or other content in support of the ENERGY STAR Change a Light, Change the World Campaign in Illinois.

If all the households in Illinois took the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge at www.energystar.gov/changealight, and changed just one incandescent light bulb to an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, the combined individual efforts would have the following impacts*:

Illinois could save up to 240 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. This is enough energy to light all the households in Springfield, Illinois, for over 920 days!

Based on the average electrical rate in Illinois, the amount of energy saved would reduce household electrical bills by a combined total of $20.2 million a year.

Illinois would prevent over 369 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year! This is equivalent to removing the annual emissions of more than 32 thousand cars from Illinois’ roadways!

CALCULATE YOUR OWN FUN FACTS!

Use the formula below to calculate the savings for your community, organization or household for each bulb changed to an ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb. This formula is based on changing a 60 Watt incandescent bulb to a 13 Watt ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulb. “X” equals the number of bulbs you are changing.

“If “X” incandescent light bulbs were changed to ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs, you would save ___kWh, $___ in energy costs, and ___pounds of greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime.”

kWh saved = “X” light bulbs multiplied by 282$ saved = kWh saved multiplied by your energy cost ($.093 is national average over CFL lifetime)Pounds of greenhouse gases = “X” light bulbs multiplied by 409

Feel free to use the following facts to develop outreach materials or other content in support of the ENERGY STAR Change a Light, Change the World Campaign in Nebraska.

If all the households in Nebraska took the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge at www.energystar.gov/changealight, and changed just one incandescent light bulb to an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, the combined individual efforts would have the following impacts*:

Nebraska could save up to 35 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. This is enough energy to light all the households in Lincoln, Nebraska, for over 70 days!

Based on the average electrical rate in Nebraska, the amount of energy saved would reduce household electrical bills by a combined total of $2.6 million a year.

Nebraska would prevent over 54 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year! This is equivalent to removing the annual emissions of nearly 5 thousand cars from Nebraska’s roadways!

CALCULATE YOUR OWN FUN FACTS!

Use the formula below to calculate the savings for your community, organization or household for each bulb changed to an ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb. This formula is based on changing a 60 Watt incandescent bulb to a 13 Watt ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulb. “X” equals the number of bulbs you are changing.

“If “X” incandescent light bulbs were changed to ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs, you would save ___kWh, $___ in energy costs, and ___pounds of greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime.”

kWh saved = “X” light bulbs multiplied by 282$ saved = kWh saved multiplied by your energy cost ($.093 is national average over CFL lifetime)Pounds of greenhouse gases = “X” light bulbs multiplied by 409

Feel free to use the following facts to develop outreach materials or other content in support of the ENERGY STAR Change a Light, Change the World Campaign in Rhode Island.

If all the households in Rhode Island took the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge at www.energystar.gov/changealight, and changed just one incandescent light bulb to an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, the combined individual efforts would have the following impacts*:

Rhode Island could save up to 21 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. This is enough energy to light all the households in Providence, Rhode Island, for over 60 days!

Based on the average electrical rate in Rhode Island, the amount of energy saved would reduce household electrical bills by a combined total of $3.1 million a year.

Rhode Island would prevent over 32 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year! This is equivalent to removing the annual emissions of nearly 3 thousand cars from Rhode Island’s roadways!
