Over the next 19years, however, the sponsorships will generate a great deal of revenue.For 50 lights, Wither estimates the net will be $1,454,000, to bedivided equally between the city and the school district.

"Schools desperately want to becomemore green, but they don't have the funds," he says. For every10 bus stop lights, he explains, "there would be enough revenuegenerated to fund a 20-kilowatt solar-power system financed over a10-year period." Adopt-a-Watt hopes to have all lights installed by the end of theyear.
