Save On Energy
Found this energy saving information in an Investor's Business Daily editorial: To burn a 100-watt light bulb for a year requres 879 pounds of coal or 508 pounds of oil or a mere. 0.0007 pounds of uranium.
The size of one uranium fuel pellet (the size of the tip of your pinky finger) is the equivalant of 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas, 1,780 pounds of coal or 149 gallons of oil.
What grabed my attention was the 508 pound of oil to required to fire off a 100-watt light bulb. My lights are on constantly and checking the energy bills, they're not going down.
