I'm not the greatest at reading graphs, but since the green line is above the red line, does that mean that energy use will actually increase with CFL use?

If so, that's an additional reason to get rid of the darn things.

Commies are going to take away my dimmer switches! I love my dimmer switches.

No...the red stripe is what energy use is WITH incandescents...and the green stripe is what light bulb usage in residences would be if there was 100% adoption of CFL’s.

MrB is exactly correct...this is about control.
