After taking a huge public relations hit when it tried to force all its customers to buy energy-efficient light bulbs, First Energy is making a new proposal. The electric company is now asking the Public Utilities Commission to approve a voluntary program so that those who don't want or need the mini-florescent lights don't have to pay for them.The scam would have netted First Energy $7.6 million -- more than the $7 million (in 1963 dollars) netted during the August 1963 Great Train Robbery.
