I am in Fort Worth (Texas) and I use TXU Energy for electricity. I have been very happy with their service. My bill for last month was $44.11 now of course it is about three times that during the summer here because of the AC.
I like that I can go online and see my daily, weekly, monthly use and know what my bill is going to be. I am sure lots of companies do that now.
I use all compact fluorescent bulbs here.
I had a CFB go bad and I need to find out how to dispose of it now.
Mother Nature Network has an aricle “5 Ways to Dispose of old CFLs.”
I used the Earth911 link and it looks like Home Depot is the place I can take it. Home Depot takes compact fluorescent light bulbs. They accept only unbroken CFL bulbs, no fluorescent tubes. I have a doctor’s appointment on the 31st and there is a Home Depot across the street.
I guess when the price of LED bulbs come down we will all be using LED bulbs and it will be the end of CFL light bulbs.
I been using CFBs since they came out and they were high cost then. I would buy one bulb each payday until I had everything replaced. I think this time I will just wait for the price to come down on LED bulbs. Well I will be 71 in March and I might not be around long enough to see the price drop this time.
I went to EarthTech Products and it looks like LED light bulbs cost about $40.00 for a 9 watt bulb and that puts out as much light as a 60 watt bulb. I will wait for the prices to come down.
