=C2=A0Every time I try to give a link the e-mail gets blocked so here
are the directions... Go to the David Suzuki Foundation and then into
the drop down menu of "What you Can Do" In there are two articles to
whch the two quotes are from below, "Energy efficient lighting" & "Cut
your energy use" I think this David is more credible than some others.
As to the quote of how much energy is saved by one 60 watt bulb in
every household below. In the Smithsonian show it stated that if one
bulb was changed in every household in the USA it would save 4 nuclear
power plants.

Quotes...
"And speaking of light bulbs, more dark in winter means more lights.
Switching to compact fluorescents from incandescent bulbs will make a
big difference. The CFLs last longer and use 75 to 80 percent less
electricity. If 110 million households replaced just one 60-watt
incandescent bulb with a CFL, the energy saved would power a city of
1.5 million people. Take two minutes today to make the switch."
"Switching to energy efficient lighting represents a great
opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint and save money on your
electricity bill. While there are obvious environmental benefits to
switching to more efficient lighting, consumers need to be aware of
safe handling and disposal practices.
Mercury
In order to achieve this energy savings, CFLs require a small amount
of mercury in their design; far less than the amount contained in other
common uses such as watch batteries or dental fillings. Moreover,
because coal fired-power is Canada's largest source of human-made
mercury emissions, the use of efficient CFLs actually results in less
mercury released into the environment overall."

All the best,
=C2=A0
ps. =C2=A0LED's are on sale now, no mercury and more efficient than
CFL's, no warm up time either.
