Retailers in the Lansing area are making 50,000 energy efficient light bulbs available at reduced rates to encourage energy efficiency in Michigan.
According to excerpts from the article:
Starting Wednesday, about 500,000 compact fluorescent bulbs will be available for as little as 99 cents at Kroger, Meijer and Menards stores across the state. They also will be sold at Ace Hardware stores in the Lansing area and Upper Peninsula.
The bulbs are cheaper thanks in part to a state grant. The Michigan Public Service Commission says compact fluorescent bulbs save at least $30 in energy costs over each bulb's lifetime. They use less energy than incandescent bulbs and last longer.
The announcement of cheaper bulbs is part of a national effort encouraging simple ways to preserve energy resources and address climate change.
