Walmart's Energy Initiative

WalMart has introduced new commercials saying that they help the energy crisis by having people buy energy efficient light bulbs as well as other ideas. For those that think that Walmart is an evil, evil corporation, could they be doing something good? Or could they just be targeting a group of customers. That is all in the eye of the beholder.
WalMart aims to sell a hundred million energy-efficient bulbs. This doesn't make them an "environmental hero," but it does give them a little better reputation than they've had for a very long time. Not to mention, if WalMart changes their own lighting that will make a huge change. They have over stores 1,000 nationwide. So, maybe the "big bad business" isn't so bad.
