  1. BioBulbs Clean Energy

  2. Purpose • Energy overuse/fossil fuels=global warming • Electricity usage in light bulbs • Heat instead • Find smart solution to electrical waste • 2011- 461 Billion kilowatt hours • (The kilowatt-hour (symbolized kWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt (1 kW) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time.) • Fill a bulb with bacteria and stimulate it to illuminate

  3. Current Competition • Regular bulb is a 60 watt Incandescent bulb • Annual $4.80* • 43 watt energy-saving Incandescent • $3.50* • 15 watt Compact Fluorescent Lamp • $1.20* • 12 watt Light Emitting Diodes (LED) • $1.00* *Based on 2 hrs/day of usage, an electricity rate of 11 cents per kilowatt-hour, shown in U.S. dollars.
