In the movie Back to the Future, Marty travels back in time to 1955. In 1955, the only available light bulbs in the United States were incandescent bulbs. Assume that last year, you traveled back in time to 1955 and changed all the light bulbs in a single average American household (45 light bulbs) from 75-watt incandescent bulbs to the corresponding 17-watt LED bulbs. The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour . Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?
