A Penn Power vice president notes a seven and a half watt night light burned 24 hours a year costs about $1.88, while gas suppliers warn conservation is prudent but not a shortfall. Columba and Peoples Natural Gas stress keeping essential gas lights on for safety and home use, with industrial demand potential curtailment if severe winter strains arise.
