Ann Arbor LED'ing the way

I've become a good North Carolinian over the last five years but I still love and am proud of my hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Even more so this week as it became the first city in the country and possibly the world to fit all its downtown streetlights with LED light bulbs.

This article from the Ann Arbor News mentioned that Raleigh was among the first cities in the country to use LED's, although not on the scale that they're planning in Ann Arbor.

Raleigh's LED Pilot Project, which you can read more about in our Cool Cities Best Practices Report, has been a great success.

Hopefully Raleigh and other North Carolina cities will consider following Ann Arbor's lead.
