California First in Phasing Out Incandescent Bulbs

While other states are phasing out the 100-Watt bulbs Jan 1st, California is getting a head start.

The changeover should shave $35.6 million off consumers’ electric bills this year alone, the California Energy Commission estimated.

More savings are planned for the next 3 years as California phases out the 75-watt bulb next year, the 60-watt bulb in 2013, the 40-Watt bulb in 2014.
