I just had a thought...

Pushing everyone over to CFLs from incandecent bulbs is supposed to save a
lot of electricity, right?

Well, how much power does it take to cook a roast for a family of five in
your average electric oven? Bet we'd save a lot more money if we forced
everyone over to microwave/convection systems.

FYI... I wasn't literally meaning that we should switch cooking
technologies. I was just trying to make the point that lightbulbs aren't the
only thing we could be doing.

Personally, banning incandecents is dumb. As long as electricity is cheap,
folks will waste it. That's the real problem. People aren't paying enough
for it.
