Is the hype surrounding the use of the Compact Fluorescent (CFLs) light bulbs to save energy and money really true? Paul Wheaton’s CFL article points out some compelling arguments suggesting that CFLs might not be all that energy efficient after all compared to incandescent light bulbs. A CFL light bulb will actually have a shorter life span than a incandescent light bulb if you household is in the habit of conserving energy and frequently turn lights off when not in use. CFLs don’t perform well when turned off and on many times.
[CFLs seem much cheaper because they are subsidized by our tax dollars and higher eletric utility rates]
