WR, I don't disagree that the compact fluorescent lights are a good thing. But the "article" (more like an ad) you cited was a bit hyperbolic. I ran some of the numbers using my latest electricity costs of $.09/KWH. Turns out that for the claims to be true, a power producer would have to generate about four lbs of CO2 for every KWH.

Meaning a typical 500MW producer would be pumping out about two million lbs of CO2 an hour. A bit excessive, wot?
