Yep.
Note they posted a “Correction” on 4/30 saying it would take a year to generate enough power to run four 60 watt light bulbs for four months straight. One has to wonder if those were CFLs or the evil old incandescents that actually consume 60 watts.

Note that if everyone on the street just turned their computers off overnight it would save about 10X that much.

Did they figure in the cost (about $2000 each to clean up a curly-Q bulb) when a CFL breaks?
