Compact Florescent Light Bulbs - Energy Savings or Just More Pollution?
 #
 


Today's News: Here's a fascinating look beyond the advertising hype that consumers are buying into regarding 'saving energy' with compact florescent light bulbs.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, lighting in the U.S. accounts for 22% of electricity consumption and costs American’s $58 billion a year. If every American home replaced just one light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb, it would save $600 million per year in energy costs and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 800,000 cars. So to arrive on the scene to combat this problem came the CFL's (Compact Florescent Light Bulbs).

Unfortunately, info that reaches the public doesn't necessarily account for the complete life cycle of these new energy saving bulbs.  Ends up - CFL's might just be neck and neck with the old fashioned incandescent's after all. See what you think. Click this link for this very interesting in-depth article.
