  According to Bill Willis, program coordinator of West Virginia Division of Energy, the CFL's unique shape plays a part in how the bulb works.He says they are much like a fluorescent bulb you would see in an office, only its tube is twisted and arched to fit the shape of a normal light socket.
  
  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is hosting a national campaign to recommend homeowners to switch to energy efficient light bulbs.According to Energy Star, a joint program of the EPA, if every American home switched just one of their light bulbs to an Energy Star qualified light bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year.
  
  "Adapting to these light bulbs will help by reducing residential energy costs," said Willis.

  "When you talk about all the households out there, it adds up," Bill Willis, program coordinator with the state Division of Energy, said.
  
  According to Willis, the average home has about 30 lights, and the average family spends about $60 a year on energy for lighting their house.
  
  An Energy Star qualified light bulb uses about 1/4 the amount of energy that a standard incandescent bulb does and won't have to be replaced as much, he said.A compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb lasts upwards of 10,000 hours, while a regular bulb lasts 750 to 1,000 hours.
  
  "It's sort of the first step you can do in your home to really start reducing your electric costs for lighting," Willis said.
  
  He said areas where the lights stay on frequently are a good place for persons to place their new light bulbs.
  
  "Saving energy is helping the environment and reducing your energy footprint," Willis said."Going to CFLs is a way to do that."
  
  Willis said more and more people are catching on to the benefits of using Energy Star light bulbs.
  
  "People are really starting to take notice of CFLs," he said.

  More than 200 lights were inspected in the 112-year-old structure over the course of 90 minutes on April 4 by three members of the Lansing-based West Virginia Sustainable Communities Project and Bill Willis, a representative of the state Development Office's Energy Efficiency office.
  ...
  The estimated cost of the project is $9,986, but Willis projected that commissioners would realize the consequent savings within 3.5 years."It looks like a good opportunity for the commission, with a payback of under 3.5 years and a matching cost of less than $5,000," Willis stated. All that's asked of county officials is $20,000 in seed money, which would be matched in kind by a Development Office grant earmarked for lighting efficiency upgrades. Later on, he and the project's six interns will inventory other county properties, including the sheriff's office, the prosecuting attorney's office, the courthouse annex and the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building.

  Doug Arbogast, project coordinator for the Lansing-based group, was joined in the walk-through by project intern Michael Costello and Bill Willis, a representative of the state Development Office's Energy Efficiency office.
  ...
  While the changes advocated by Arbogast and Willis would initially cost $9,986, those expenses would be recouped in consequent savings within 3.5 years, the group stated.
  ...
  Willis will now crunch the numbers from Monday's audit in a software program he uses.
  ...
  "It will take a few weeks, but Willis and I will come back to the commission and present a final report and answer any questions about the grant process.
