Re: [IRCA] Compact Fluorescent Lamps - Revisited

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Bill,

A very good point. My neighbors that still are using the old bulbs; I
have asked them if they will continue to use the old ones. Most say they
will as the cost of the CFL's are too expensive. 25 cents vs $2.50. Sure
in the longrun the new bulbs will save money as you will not have to
replace them as often and a few cents will be saved on the electric
bill, but to replace all bulbs in a normal size house would be expensive
in the beginning. 
I am sure when a CFL burns out, the garbage people probably would not
want you to just toss it in with the rest of the trash, so the cost is
there to handle the CFL separately. The old bulbs, you just toss those
out. 

73,

Patrick
