According to the Department of Energy, 85% of the electricity used in the
U.S. Is generated by fossil fuels. Of the largest 1000 fossil fuel-fired power
plants in the U.S., 77% are not subject to air pollution controls under the Clean
Air Act’s New Source Review requirements. The generation of electric power
produces more pollution than any other single industry in the United States. The
statistics are similar in other industrialized nations. Despite the efforts of 1000’s
of organizations working towards a sustainable future, energy consumption
continues to increase at a time when demand threatens to exceed our limited
resources.
An important part of reducing our dependence on fossil fuels is improving
energy efficiency (that is, getting more use out of the electricity we are already
creating.) Ingenuity is addressing the problem head on with Hybrid cars, energy
efficient homes, energy efficient lighting, and a move toward renewable, green,
energy sources. We have come to the realization that using our resources
efficiently is the quickest, cheapest, and cleanest way to extend our energy
supply. LED Grow Pro would like to congratulate everyone who has chosen to
grow with the most efficient lighting option available- led grow lights. The LED
Grow Pro lights use 33 times less energy than comparable metallic vapor
lights. ( Based on 3 LED Grow Master bars per 400 watt MH.) According to a
study by the EPA, this energy savings is equivalent to planting a 1/2 acre of trees
per year.
