No, consumers go for the light that is pleasing and not that harsh flourescent bulb.
The compacts are only good for industrial use, for the home it is still incandecent.
What next light bulb smuggling for the rich people?
What will photographers do?
What happens when LED lights hit the market?
Is there a Compact Florecent bulb factory in the state?
A lot of it is simply people not knowing how good CFLs are these days and taking the cheap purchase over the long-term savings. I prefer the light from my CFL bulbs over the few incandescents still left in the house.
What happens when LED lights hit the market?
Socket-fitting ones are on the market, but they're not very good and too expensive. The environuts will probably want to ban CFLs when LEDs mature. One of my favorite upcoming battles is when the global warming wackos ("Mandate CFL!") face off against the pollution wackos ("Ban CFL because it has mercury!").
This is of course not the solution. Wal-Mart is going one of the correct routes by simply raising the visibility of CFLs in its stores. Let the informed market decide.
