Long Live the Incandescent!

Today's NYT has an article on incandescent bulbs that meet the energy
efficiency mandates that were expected to make them obsolete.

And last week, when announcing tougher energy efficiency mandates for
straight tube fluorescents and reflector bulbs, Obama said that 7% of US
energy use goes for lighting. That's about the same percent that I had come
up with using DOE statistics and a far cry from the bogus 20-25% figure used
by the eco-terrorists and other Wallmart shills.

And here's another interesting read on CFLs.
