And, as they say, theres still more my friends . . .
LED LIGHTS are
the next BIG THING for energy savings and independence from Big Oil.
Let's look at some statistics on the lighting sources we're using today:

Just how long is 50,000 hours? |
|
|

50,000 hours lit for 24 hours per day will last over 5 and a half years.
50,000 hours lit for 12 hours per day will last for over 11 years.
50,000 hours lit for 8 hours per day will last for over 17 years.
50,000 hours lit for 4 hours per day will last for over 34 years.

Leds are still a little expensive but they are
getting even more efficient energywise.
And, every watt you don't need to buy from the
Electric Company is also one you don't have to purchase in the form of solar cells or other electric generator
sources.
Electric infra-structure is
EXPENSIVE.
It's always mystified me that the "green" energy
people have overlooked what I think is a major point.
And that energy conservation point is what I like
to call the ANTI-EARNING FACTOR.
What is that?
That the cost of saving energy by either
eliminating or buying appliances that use less energy is far more efficient when it comes to Wealth
Preservation by eliminating the need to earn that savings in INCOME!
We'll talk more about this in a later article, but, in essence it's
this:
If you carefully design just what appliances you're going to use
on the basis of what they'll save you, you won't ever have to make that amount of money by
working for someone else!
That's FREEDOM!
Think about it a little. We'll talk later. -
