Al, > and don't say crap like the new halogen incandescent bulbs are more expensive as if you don't understand the cost curve progression or the fact that they last much longer

CFLs were supposed to "last much longer." That proved to be false.

Halogen incandescents are indeed twice as expensive than traditional bulbs. Don't wanna hear the facts, I see.

I think your idea of the "cost curve progression" is the same old pipe dream I hear from every vendor of expensive "green technology." "Oh, the price will come down as volumes go up." That ignores the need to find a critical mass of market demand.

But since you obviously pretend to know more than you do, I'll let you keep pretending that you know WTF I'm talking about.
