Boy, the hype is thick as a brick in here. I don't know who's really behind the insane rush to CFLs, but, as usual, I'm following the money. Thirty cents for an incandecent that breaks down in a landfill, vs. $5 for a CFL that needs a haz-mat crew to properly dispose of it. Swap out a few billion of them and do the math.

The best rebuttal to the CFL hype so far is this piece: <link> . I strongly urge everyone to read it before swallowing any more of this pseudo-green fluff.

AKAIK, CFLs are the "farmed Atlantic salmon" of the environmental movement!
