...don’t know what CFL stands for by now, then you are already doing yourself and future generations a disservice. Decades after the introduction of the CFL, and at a time when global climate change and skyrocketing energy costs are at the center of public debate, it is unacceptable that every American household has not implemented this simple waste-preventing measure...
...those of you still in the dark, CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Light bulb. The CFL is an energy-efficient, long-lasting bulb. The average 25-watt bulb uses approximately a third of the energy of an equivalent incandescent bulb. And while the upfront cost of such a bulb can be as much as twice that of a comparable incandescent, the long-term savings are clear. By one calculation, a single CFL bought to replace a 75-watt incandescent bulb will save a consumer $76 to $83 over its 15,000 hour lifetime...

A CFL may consume 75% less energy to generate the equivalent light, but my furnace has to make up for the heat no longer provided by the incandescent bulb. Since there are also disposal issues (CFLs contain mercury), I suggest that CFLs be used only in the refrigerator. Richard Wilhelm, Port Angeles, Washington...
