Re: An interesting view on how 'green' CFLs really are:

The LED price will have to come down by a factor 100 or so before

Thats is a problem.

True, but I was buying CFLs before they became popular, so I figure that
I helped a little to bring down the price of CFLs <G!>

My first CFL cost a fortune. So much so I can't remember, maybe $40 and
that's say 15 years ago. It lasted for years and years and easily repaid
itself.

I am almost entirely CFL now. At 80c on offer why even bother thinking about
it ?
