Fun Facts for Nebraska

Did you know if every household in Nebraska changed ONE incandescent light bulb to an ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb, the combined individual efforts would have the following impact:

1. Nebraska could save 35 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year -- enough to light all the households in Lincoln for 70 days!
2. Based on average electrical rates in Nebraska, the amount of energy saved would reduce household electrical bills by a combined total of $2.5 million a year!
3. Nebraska would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide going into the air each year by 56 million pounds, which is an amount that could fill up more than 1.9 billion basketballs. Placed side-by-side, this string of basketballs would be approximately 260 thousand miles long!
4. This same carbon dioxide reduction would be like removing 5,000 cars from Nebraska's roads.
