Even when people are forced to act one way they tend to do something to make up for it. For example, I notice that when flushing I tend to hold the handle down until the entire flush is done instead of the old method of just giving the handle a push and release. I doubt that saves as much water as the environmentalists said it would.
Similarly I expect that people will come out with "yellow" shades to adjust the harsh color of the fluorescent light which will also dim the light some and require higher wattage bulbs to give the same total light. Now if they could just come out with a DC fluorescent bulb which doesn't have that just noticeable flicker.
Flourescents are already sold in different color ranges. Some give light very similar to incandescents. And the color rendition is much better than it used to be.

Most CFL's use electronic ballasts that have such a high frquency that there is no flicker. The same is used for LCD displays.
People who live near the Canadian border go to Canada to buy full-flush toilets. You have to install them yourself, because it is illegal for a licensed plumber to do so, but you can get the full-flush if you want to. Order online today. Or if you can't do that, do what others do and cruise the streets looking for construction and take the old toilets out of the dumpsters. Have a nice day.
