you get the per watt price. you divide this by this. you get the price per a.c. watt. you want to ask about permit fees as well. each city typically will charge fees. now those fees are coming down and we're working very hard to get them standardized and clear. there is some cost. sometimes the installers will pass that on to you. ask how they're dealing with it. you say, ok, what's my watt. let's see it was four d.c. but you'll have 18% less here, so that's the number you want, you divide this by that and you get that. so this would be 926 a watt. therefore, you can compare apples to apples. they have a standard calculator that they use on the web and they include that printout on your bid and they have to file that printout in your rebate application. so there is another possibility of lowering costs, the group buy. when i went, in i went in with a bunch of friends because i thought i wanted to bring people in because i knew all of these people, these greeny homeowners that were needing to walk the talk and because i brought a lot of businesses vendor, they lowered a

there are a lot of halogen lights and this is a 20-watt bulb. they're popular in kitchens and very popular for display. the problem with them is they are very inefficient. they create a lot of heat for the light and they are not allowed to be used by the energy code except in displays. even though customers like them, they're really not desirable in terms of the energy code. >> a lot of stuff is sold in stores that doesn't meet the code or is not efficient or is really not in your best interests, but they sell it. you go to the big box hardware stores and you can buy a lot of stuff that isn't -- that is simply not energy first or not used, green, or not allowed under the code, but they continue to sell it and people buy it. so we don't regulate that. we cannot regular it. we can regulate things that people put in their homes and usually only when they get a permit and then we do an inspection. a lot of things are done without inspection. somebody replace a bulb, no permits required, may not be efficient. >> while we're on the subject of lights,
