The city plans to spend $57 million to retrofit 140,000 streetlights with LED bulbs, a move that is expected to ultimately save the city $10 million a year in energy costs.
"Greening is the future of Los Angeles," Clinton told a group of 100 invited guests at the City Hall Rotunda.
It was the former president's foundation, the Clinton Climate Initiative, that came to the city with the concept of replacing the inefficient bulbs with the more expensive LEDs, or light-emitting diodes.
