Anything is possible, but it looks like a lot of people
are going to look silly and may resent spending the money
that way if we start having more cold weather.
In fact, now they say the polar bears are having a
problem getting to the baby seals because there is too
much ice. :-)
The US law mandates closing production of light bulbs
in 2012, so there will be a lot of work changing dimmer switches
and sockets and lamps and shades because of the difference
in size and shape.
I still have saved what the CFLs cost me, but they are getting
better and I should start saving if they last as long as I am seeing now.
