What happens if we use “shovel ready” federal stimulus funds for energy infrastructure improvement to pay a professional to come to your house and change out your incandescent lighting with compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) before the end of 2010? How much energy would the state save? Could we put off building new power plants? How much money would you, the homeowner, save on your electric bill? How much would it cost to replace all of Florida’s light bulbs? How many jobs would be created? How much green house gases would be eliminated?
