To impress your friends, you would like to spend as much as possible, but save no more than $800 per year in energy costs (you are proud of your large utility bills). How many compact fluorescent light bulbs and how many square feet of insulation should you purchase? How much will you save in energy costs per year? (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
