The 75-watt version cost $3.47 per bulb -- compared to .22 cents for a 75-watt incandescent bulb.

Twenty-two cents for an incandescent 75 watt bulb? My eye.

In two decades land fill will be full of mercury. I just sweep them up and toss them in the trash. I don't care what the EPA says. And, millions of people will not either.A actually like the CFL's. They're a lot better than when they first came out. But, this whole idea of presidents telling us what we can and cannot do in our own homes has to stop.

Your eye out for bargains, like Wal-Mart. $0.88 a four pack.

About 20 years ago, I purchased some old-style carbon filament bulbs for some historic lighting in my house. The bulbs I installed in a hall fixture are still working 20 years later! As they say about carbon filament bulbs; twice the power, for half the light.

I get packs of 4 for 85 cents to $1.00, so 22 cents each is correct. CFL bulbs cost me more than $1.00 each
