Planning ‘greener’ Rockefeller tree
From Times Wire Reports
The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is going “greener” -- with energy-saving lights replacing old-fashioned bulbs.
The 84-foot spruce will be covered with 30,000 multicolored light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, strung on five miles of wire.
The daily saving is equal to the amount of electricity consumed by a typical 2,000-square-foot house in a month.
