According to OMPA

"If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than three million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars."

ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs (compact florescents)

• ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer.

• Save about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb's lifetime.

• Produce about 75 percent less heat, so they're safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling.

• Are available in different sizes and shapes to fit in almost any fixture, for indoors and outdoors.
