The New York Empire State Plaza holiday tree has doned on a new dress of energy-efficient LED (light-emitting diode) lights!
The state has provided 4,000 multicolored C9 LED light bulbs to decorate the tree. Each bulb draws only 0.9 watts of power, a tenth of the energy of what the old bulbs consumed. The new LED lights will consume only 2,800 kilowatss-hours of electricity (about $400 worth) during the holiday season in comparison to traditional incandescent holiday lights will consume. This translates to more than $50,000 savings in energy and replacement costs over the lifetime of the bulbs for the region's residents.
The enery saved from the LED lights will also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 26,000 pounds annually.

LED bulbs cost about $1 more per bulb than traditional holiday lights. Still, it's a good investment for four reasons:
• LEDs are more energy efficient, as much as 90% more efficient than incandescent lights, so you'll pay less for electricity when you burn them.
• They'll burn for 35,000 to 50,000 hours, compared with about 3,000 hours for traditional bulbs.
• They produce less heat, making them safer
• They're nearly impossible to destroy because they're made of hard plastic, so you'll rarely have to replace a burned-out or broken bulb.

“Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind...And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.” - William Shakespeare
