LED Lightbulbs Save Considerable Energy
1 December 2009 | Green Technology | 1 Comment
A new study states that LED lightbulbs consume far less energy than incandescent bulbs in their entire lifetime. The study was conducted by Osram, a big lightning company from Germany and has studied and inspected the entire life of a LED bulb, from manufacturing down to its removal, during which they measured the total energy consumption, as well as the gas emissions ejected during the whole procedure. They also accounted for major global warming threats in each process, like the acid rain potential, photochemical ozone creation, eutrophication or the pollution through the release toxic chemical materials.

The solution to planet’s energy problems is right at hand. Although this might come as a surprise to some, according to a study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences, if the world turned to wind for it’s energy demands, there would be so much of it available, that would make the search for other sources seem senseless.
