CFLs are very much like the betamax of their time. There are applications where fluorescents make sense. There are other applications where incandescents make more sense. For other applications, sodium lamps, arc lamps, or other technologies may be more appropriate.
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.
