OT CFLs - retrofitting low ESR capacitors
"Trevor Wilson"
**The manufacture of glass, steel and tungsten is a very energy intensive
process.
** OTOH - the amounts used to make one light bulb are tiny and so use tiny
amounts of energy.
Combined with the extremely short life-span of incandescent lamps
** They can last 100 years in low or no use.
They often outlast CFLs in actual service.
and their monsterous inefficiency (Less than 5%) contributes to huge
amounts of CO2.
** ********.
CFLs and LEDs cause far less CO2 to be emitted,
** Per lamp, it is far MORE than an incandecsent.
both in manufacture and in operation over the life of the produc.
** Absolute LIE.
Each CFLs use 50 times time more energy to make, plus a large amount of
poisonous chemical waste and then consume more energy too - if they last
their rated life.
Then they pollute the planet with Mercury and other heavy metal poisons.
No such issues with incandescents.
It is all a massive LIE .
