Yeah, tell all the sheep in the nation to rise up and make the best
decisions for our country as a whole. How many of us educated members on
this list have emailed their congressional representatives this year and
demanded they pass legislation that's best for the majority of people?

Now that you mention it, there was a study published by the Rocky
Mountain Institute (http://www.rmi.org/) a while back, when the
electric utility in Colorado had submitted plans
to build a new electric power generating plant, that showed that if
the utility bought CF lights,and passed them out for free to all of
their customers to replace all the incandescent
lights in their homes, it would save MORE electricity than the new
plant they were planning on constructing would generate operating at
full capacity, and save them the tens of
millions of dollars of the cost of the construction of the new plant.
Amazing.
