Al, > oh, and the bike trails? boy scouts will build them for free...

$194K per mile of bike trail? Wow, that's pretty expensive.

>>> I guess the LEDs will self manufacture and self install.

The point of installing LED lighting is that it eliminates future replacement costs. If anything, it REDUCES the amount of labor required. It is cheaper to run, but the compelling reason it is used in signals and street lighting is these things have high labor costs to replace.

You really think CREE is going to put more people to work to provide this lighting? How many? 3, 4, 6?
