Some folks are up in arms over Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, which requires 25% more efficient light bulbs starting in January 2012. The bi-partisan law phases out the standard Edison bulb in favor of better options like this upgraded light bulb. The Philips EcoVantage light offers an incremental improvement over the norm with 28% energy savings, a low price, and incandescent-style light. Specifically, the 29-watt EcoVantage light bulb replaces the standard 40-watt incandescent, the 43-watt bulb replaces the 60-watt incandescent, and the 72-watt bulb replaces the 100-watt incandescent.

Screens, a special mesh that blocks sunlight from reaching your window, and film, which is essentially a special tinting application that blocks heat and glare, are two cost-effective simple solutions to beat the summer’s heat.

New Calif. law mandates more electricity from renewable sources California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a new law today requiring power companies to generate 33 percent of all electricity from renewable energy sources like wind and solar power by 2020. The new law is a major incentive for clean technology companies in the state to begin ramping up their production of clean energy sources. Previous laws required power companies to fill 20 percent of their output with renewable energy sources by 2010 with a 3-year grace period.
