I came across a very interesting link today. It’s about the other side in the argument for compact fluorescent light bulbs.

I think the professor makes a very good point in the article. And I think it highlights one of the main problems with the modern environmental movement: everyone is looking for quick fixes to the problem. Which is why I think you see governments so ready to proclaim that CFL’s will fix all of our woes. It’s why you have Al Gore pretending that you can stop global warming by switching from an SUV to a hybrid & changing the brand of lightbulbs you use. People really need to start looking at all sides before jumping on a bandwagon.
