Agreed. The point of the article, however is that the Left wants to force people to use CFL's across the board, whether it makes sense or not. This isn't about reducing global warming; its about lifestyle regimentation in the name of fighting global warming. And you can bet your last dollar in the bank the people who force this change upon the rest of society will be exempt from it. That's who they are - elitists.

It's none of the government's business what light bulbs we use.
It's none of the government's business how much energy we use. We pay for it!
It's none of the government's business how big our toilets are.
Or how high we set the heat in our houses.
Or how many doors we have.
Or windows.
Or smoke alarms.
Or how we decide to deal with our garbage.
Or how we raise our kids, for that matter.

Now, I'm wonderfully pleased that some people are wonderfully pleased with the twirly new light bulbs. Just keep your hands off of my old-style bulbs, and we'll be fine.

One question, though... have you ever broken a light bulb? Me, too. Do you really want to break one of the new ones, if they contain mercury vapor?
