I read the article this morning. My view has always been that the payback is
higher the higher up the food chain you work.

Only 1/3 of the energy in coal gets converted to electricity so any
improvement in conversion efficiency gives more power with no increase in
emissions. If you combine higher efficiency with sequestration it's even
better. That makes a lot more sense than looking for a few tenths of a
percent reduction by replacing all residential incandescents with CFLs.
