Discover the innovative BioBulbs, a groundbreaking solution to the energy crisis and global warming caused by fossil fuel overuse. By utilizing bacteria to illuminate, these bulbs provide a safer, more efficient lighting option. While traditional incandescent bulbs consume 60 watts, BioBulbs require significantly less energy, reducing electricity waste and costs. With energy-efficient options like LEDs and compact fluorescents already in the market, BioBulbs present an opportunity for greater energy savings and longevity. Tackling safety concerns will be key for widespread acceptance.

BioBulbs Clean Energy
Purpose • Energy overuse/fossil fuels=global warming • Electricity usage in light bulbs • Heat instead • Find smart solution to electrical waste • 2011- 461 Billion kilowatt hours • (The kilowatt-hour (symbolized kWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt (1 kW) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time.) • Fill a bulb with bacteria and stimulate it to illuminate
Current Competition • Regular bulb is a 60 watt Incandescent bulb • Annual $4.80* • 43 watt energy-saving Incandescent • $3.50* • 15 watt Compact Fluorescent Lamp • $1.20* • 12 watt Light Emitting Diodes (LED) • $1.00* *Based on 2 hrs/day of usage, an electricity rate of 11 cents per kilowatt-hour, shown in U.S. dollars.
Advantages • One Tiny light=less power needed • Energy save high=Money save • Long lasting
Problems • People scared of Bacteria • Fear infection • Get safety approval from governmental agency
