Green Santa in Fort Wayne
In surprising news, the Fort Wayne National Bank Santa Claus and Reindeer display is going green this year. The 24,717 incandescent bulbs are being replaced with LEDs. This will be a large energy savings. The 10W bulbs are being replaced with brighter 1W LEDs. The new LEDs cost around $2.80 each, and are expected to last much longer than incandescent. This is obviously a good idea, but is surprising because so many people in Fort Wayne are go out of the way to not be green.
