Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prizes - Energy Bill Full Of Bright Ideas Worth $5 To $10 Million
By Mr Ethanol | June 13, 2007
Chicago Tribune:
If you are smart enough to invent a bright, highly energy-efficient, solid-state “light package” to replace the 60-watt bulb, you might qualify for a $10 million federal prize. A similar invention to replace halogen bulbs could carry a $5 million award.
These “Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prizes” are part of a wide-ranging, ambitious Senate energy bill chock full of incentives and mandates designed to meet the nation’s growing energy challenge.
“The idea is to spur really very efficient lights,” said Lowell Ungar, senior policy analyst at the Alliance to Save Energy, a non-partisan group that works with business, government, educational and environmental officials.
Along with major proposals to require more renewable fuel, set higher gasoline mileage standards and punish price-gouging by oil companies, the bill’s fine print shows that Congress is turning to many such energy-saving and energy-producing ideas.
Senate leaders hope to pass the bill by the end of next week, but its fate is somewhat uncertain as President Bush has threatened a veto because of the price-gouging and other provisions.
