Yet another article on CFLs
Posted in Commentary on April 30th, 2007 by Sacha PeterNow this article blames women for the lack of widespread adoption of Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL)s.
I am finding this debate on CFLs rather interesting in that I find the analogy between incandescent light/CFLs and compact cars/SUVs to be mightily similar. This time, the government has stepped in and said that you have to use CFLs because they are more efficient. I think in the name of vote-grabbing, other such initiatives are probably not that far behind.
Ultimately it’s about choice – even if CFLs are cheaper, more efficient in every way, what if I want to use an incandescent light because I like the light better? Isn’t it my choice to pay the extra few cents of electricity? I guess not anymore.
