How many DWP workers will it take to get you to screw in an energy-saving light bulb? A lot. Kerry Cavanaugh in the Daily News.

In what appears to be the nation's largest giveaway of compact fluorescent light bulbs, the Department of Water and Power plans to hire crews to deliver 2.4 million bulbs to every household in Los Angeles.

Over six months, the utility will leave bags containing two CFLs on as many doorsteps as possible. During a trial run this summer, more than 135 DWP staffers delivered 184,000 CFLs.
