Something you should know: Compact flourescent bulbs emit the same light as classic incandescents but use 75% - 80% less electricity. what that means, is that if every one of 110 million American households replaced an ordinary 60 watt bulb,with a fluorescent ice-cream-bulb, the energy saved would be enough to power a city of 1.5 million people. One bulb swapped out; enough electricity saved to power all the homes in Delaware and Rhode Island. In terms of oil not burned, or greenhouse gases not exhausted into the atmosphere, one bulb is equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the roads.
