Gov. Ted Strickland issued a letter last Wednesday requesting the of Ohio postpone FirstEnergy’s energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulb distribution program.
In response, PUCO has asked FirstEnergy to postpone its distribution to the customers of Ohio Edison, Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. and Toledo Edison. The same day Strickland issued the letter, Rep. Dennis Kucinich asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate it.
FirstEnergy was set to begin distributing two energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs to homes throughout Ohio, including the Westshore area, this week, but the program was met with public outcry. The company planned to deliver about 3.7 million light bulbs over a period of five weeks. The bulbs use up to less electricity than a traditional
welding hose incandescent bulb.
