Around 50-75% of energy can be saved if one uses CFL. As a matter of fact, in India, 20% of total energy consumed is for lighting purpose. i.e If the energy consumed per month is 500 units, you can roughly tell, 100 units has been consukmed for lighting purpose. Now if CFL and TFL is used, the 100 units consumed otherwise can be reduced to 50 units or even less. therefore, the effective electricity bill would be of 450 units instead of 500 units.

How much electricity can be saved by using CFL?
it can save 10% of per month by using cfl bulbs.
Why can't lightning be used to provide electricity for homes?
DC (dirrect current) electricity is not used in homes, because different appliances (lamps, TVs, etc.) use different voltages. By using AC electricity, each appliance can take the voltage it needs. If we used DC, some smaller appliances would constantly burn out, because the voltages are far too high.
Is using a microwave more conservative on electricity than a stove?

What are the uses of hydro electric power?
Hydro power is using the power of water (dams, rivers, oceans) to generate electricity. The uses of electricity are everywhere, powering factories, offices, homes, kitchens and living rooms. To produce electricity
What are real world applications of hydroelectricity?
its just a form of electricity that is produced by using water under high pressure to turn large turbines. the result then causes the turbines to spin a generator which then sends electricity across transmission lines to the normal usage of electricity in our homes.
