11.23.10	Energy-Efficiency Segmentation: Results from the Residential Products and Services Survey Topic: Energy Efficiency Article Viewed 1138 Times; 4 comments Energy marketers know intuitively that certain residential customers are much more inclined to pursue energy efficiency than others. But what exactly differentiates the doers, from the potential doers, from the people who are unlikely to participate in utility programs?

11.3.09	Maine's new CFL recycling program: Should manufacturers pay? Topic: Environmental, Emissions & Carbon Management Article Viewed 1040 Times; 2 comments Maine is the first state in the United States to require manufacturers of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) to pay for collection and recycling of the bulbs. "An Act to Provide for the Safe Collection and Recycling of Mercury-Containing Light Bulbs" (LD 973) passed the Maine Legislature in May 2009 and went into effect September 2009. The legislation also limits the mercury content of all lighting products. Similar bills are being considered in California, Massachusetts, and Vermont.

5.28.09	Reaching Out to Customers in Troubled Financial Times Topic: Billing & Customer Care Article Viewed 506 Times; Comment on this article Many electric and gas utilities reported record numbers of customer arrearages and disconnections in late 2008 and early 2009. Although the U.S. Congress doubled the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funds to $5.1 billion, 2009 may be unique in terms of the number of consumers having difficulty paying their utility bills.

6.6.08	Western Utilities Embrace CFL Recycling Topic: Environmental, Emissions & Carbon Management Article Viewed 532 Times; Comment on this article Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) contain a small amount of mercury (an average of 5 mg), which is necessary for the bulbs to work. But because mercury is a hazardous substance, problems can arise if a bulb breaks.

1.8.08	CFLs and Mercury: What Are Utilities Doing to Facilitate CFL Recycling? Topic: Energy Efficiency Article Viewed 1235 Times; 28 comments As national and global attention focuses on ways to reduce greenhouse emissions and save energy, many utilities are launching or expanding compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) programs for residential customers. Utilities in the U.S. often work with manufacturers and retailers to promote CFLs in conjunction with the national Energy Star "Change a Light, Change the World" campaign, which takes place each October through December.
