I have those new bulbs and they haven’t put a dent in my electric bill, so far as I can tell.

Well I figured that is one of the reasons ComEd raised their rates in Illinois. If I was paying $100.00 a month with incandescents, then switched the majority of my bulbs over to the fluorescents, my bill should go down. In fact it did. It dropped about 15%-20%. But ComEd knew that I could pay $100.00 a month. So now I am paying $100.00 a month because their rates went up.

I guess it is kind of like college tuition. Give a kid a $5000.00 grant, then the college can raise it's tuition another $5000.00.

Just so you all know, I throw them in the trash.

I might throw mine away too if I hadn't spent so damn much buying them. They look terrible in the fixtures and the light they give off makes me want to blow my brains out.
