One of the most interesting articles I've read in a long time ... it's a little long but worth the read.

For years, compact fluorescent bulbs have promised dramatic energy savings--yet they remain a mere curiosity. That's about to change.

Sitting humbly on shelves in stores everywhere is a product, priced at less than $3, that will change the world. Soon. It is a fairly ordinary item that nonetheless cuts to the heart of a half-dozen of the most profound, most urgent problems we face. Energy consumption. Rising gasoline costs and electric bills. Greenhouse-gas emissions. Dependence on coal and foreign oil. Global warming.

I replaced all the bulbs at my house with these 5 years ago - both inside and outside.

Back then they were about $4.00 each !

Also. It's good to live in washington state. Endless 'clean' energy. Unless you count some dead salmon behind the dams :/
