Today there are more and more businesses switching to energy efficient lighting. Examples of major companies making that change are Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Caesars Entertainment, The Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco, Home Depot, etc. So, why the sudden surge in energy efficient lighting retrofits?

In the dynamically changing marketplace of the American Energy Revolution, technologies like Solar, that PRODUCE new power, have taken a big psychological hit over technologies like LED lighting that REDUCE power consumption.

More products from China, that are delivered faster to American shores, may create some advantages for major importers like Wal-Mart, but the national impact could be an accelerant to manufacturing job loss. A new generation of Cargo Ships can transport goods across the Pacific to California in less than 5 Days. This shaves 4 days of the typical trip that used to run 9 days at sea.

"I was a GM brat myself," says Kris Ockomon, the imposing mayor of Anderson, Indiana, in his spirited Hoosier twang. "Both my parents retired after 30 years of service. It's been a way of life around here."

As Earth Day week comes to a close, it is important to highlight some accomplishments of growing companies in the ‘Green’ sector. The Energy Revolution is not just about big oil companies going green, or companies like GE and Siemens changing the world. Smaller companies are taking great strides to help reduce energy consumption in the U.S. and create jobs here at home.

Efficiency and Better Cars Will Fuel America Faster than Drilling

The United States consumes 19 million barrels of oil a day, 25 percent of the global supply, but we have less than 2 percent of the world’s proved oil reserves. That means no amount of domestic drilling will reduce gas prices or provide enough to meet America’s daily demand for oil.

As the Green movement sweeps across the nation, many people and organizations are beginning to focus their efforts in specific areas. There are so many different ways to be more energy efficient. It seems that the new ‘best way to go green’ pops up every day.

As many of us have seen in recent weeks, the price of gasoline has continued to rise. Reminders of the 2007 crisis are popping up across the United States. Wednesday February 23, 2011 marked the first time the price of oil hit $100 dollars a barrel since 2008.

The recent recession is filled with stories about people losing their jobs and their struggles to find work. However, many companies in the 'Green' Sector are hiring new employees at an ever-increasing rate. One such company is based just outside of Philadelphia in Devon, PA. LED Saving Solutions is a LED manufacturer and distributor that is growing at an incredible rate.
