Knowledge is power. If you KNOW which is the better bulb, there is the
temptation to mandate its use (witness that exact fact). People should
gather their eggs in whichever basket they choose, put them in their
pockets, or wrap them in a handkerchief and carry them over their shoulder.

If *I* were the king of the world, I'd shoot anybody who says "we need to
study this."

Well, that pretty much squares with a lot of the crap you post here.

At least you're consistent.

I agree with Bub , we should shoot anybody that needs to "study" this.
The facts have been here years. 20+ years ago I started my push to
replace incandesants with T8, those incandesant "Electric Heaters"
that put out visable light as an offshoot are a waste. Now just go
down to your local hardware store today and buy some Cfls, it wont
hurt you, it doesnt need anymore studying, its been done.
