Major Corporate Shift to Solar Energy and LEDs

The facts about what didn't happen at 3 mile island are less significant than the facts of what did happen at Chernobyl. It took one plant faliure to erase any environmental benefits derived, or to be derived by nuclear energy in the next few hundred years. The cost is too high, and the only thing that 3 mile island illustrated is that it will happen again.

Obama Provides More Tailwinds for LED Lighting Manufacturers

LED lighitng is one step in the right direction, but outright grid-independence is a tremendous leap. Where new constrcution is concerned, the cost/benefit is tremendous when the cost if infrastructure is mitigated. In the retrofit scenerio, it is very localized as to cost/benefit, credits, and payback. The fact is that solar lighting is more efficient, and if done correctly, by taking into consideration issues including IESNA and LEED parameters for efficient lighting, it can be of tremendous value to any municipality going green.
