Right; and if they emit heat, then you don’t have to turn up the heater as high, right?

I'm not against the new bulbs, I'm against government mandating that I must use them. I have several light bulbs of the standard variety, when they are gone I will most likely try the new ones.

As I noted in a previous post I already have 2 CO2 detectors in my home and then state government passes a law that I must have one. It just generally pisses me off when the gov. interferes with this nanny state bull shit.

I think you mean CO. CO2 is carbon dioxide, which is harmless in small concentrations. Our bodies actually produce and exhale it.

CO is carbon monoxide which is colorless, odorless, tasteless and deadly, even at very small levels.

CO results from the incomplete combustion of materials containing carbon. If your home is all electric, you really have no need for a CO detector.
