Ah, what a summer it was . . . the cheering crowds, the long days and crazy nights, loading the truck up and hitting the road, not knowing what town we were in, just living to hit the stage one more time. And as you can see from the picture, I have extensive "ink" on my arms (and, no these are no fake tattoos that I slip on and off for media photo opportunities).Is that my rock band fantasy? Yes, but actually it was PSE's Energy Rock Star reality this past four months as the Rock The Bulb tour rolled across Western Washington, spreading the joy of saving energy and money to 16 communities from Anacortes to Auburn and back again.
This weekend the tour is in Thurston County for one last stop. If you're a PSE residential electric customer just come on down to the Olympia Lowes hardware store this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and bring in 10 old-fashioned energy-hungry incandescent light bulbs and we'll swap them, free of charge, for 10 energy efficiency compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). These CFLs use about one-quarter of the energy of an equivalent incandescent light -- with each bulb saving you about $40 over the lifetime of the bulb in energy costs.
With Rock the Bulb, PSE has now distributed nearly 11 million of these wonders since 2002 through giveaways like RTB or through our rebate program with local stores. If you haven't tried one, or haven't tried one for a while, give them a go. The price is right at Rock the Bulb (free), and the lights come in different color shadings (warmer and yellower, whiter and brighter) than they did a few years ago. And, the recycling infrastructure is now in place so they can be disposed of properly and easily.
Thanks to all the PSE customers who have made this our summer of rockin' out and saving energy.
Rock'on dude.
