Since this seems to be a fairly hot topic here I thought I'd give
it another little shove. (And I hope Don Klipstein responds, as he
seems to be one of the most knowledgeable folks here in this
field.)

So it's one of the burning questions of our age: are CFLs really
that much more efficient than incandescents? Should we go
whole-hog over to what Homer Simpson calls the "twirly" light
bulbs to save ourselves (by cutting carbon emissions, etc.)?

Plus now we have a new contender, LEDs, to throw into the mix.

If I were Ayatollah of the world, here's what I think I'd do. I
would want good answers to all these questions, based on good
science and not just speculation, "common sense" or other less
reliable ways of arriving at a conclusion.


If I were Ayatollah of the world, I'd tell people that you are free
to choose
whatever kind of light bulb you want.

I know this is a weird concept in today's environment.
