I like CFLs as well, for the same reasons you cite. But I am sure we both agree that people should be free to buy whatever bulbs they wish to use.

Mine don’t last. I was actually told to replace all my fixtures.

I built my house 15 years ago. I replaced many of the original bulbs last year with CFLs. Now, I am replacing many of the CFLs that lasted less than a year. They seem to have more trouble with ceiling fans (vibration) and with closed fixtures (i.e. no air circulation). I have replaced more CFLs in the past year than I replaced standard bulbs in 14 years.
