Why LEDs Don't Beat CFLs Even Though They Should

TaeKwonDood writes "LEDs don't beat CFLs in the home yet, but it's not simply because PG&E is getting rich making people feel like they are helping the environment buying CFLs made in China that are shipped to the US using a lot more fossil fuels than they save. It's a problem of indication versus illumination. However, some new discoveries are going to change all that."

that Environment Protection have gone too far

[kentsin]

I did not against the idea that we need to protect our environment.

I against that people did not use their brain on this. People take the idea as if and retold the story without thinking.

Now that Environment Protection or GREEN have been GREENISM which were eating intelligent as food and turn out to be our biggest nightmare.

Why there are no legislation that people only can drink water instead of sodia is just time. Why we allow such laws pass is signal of a very ill society.

Using more money to go GREEN is against my common sense. STOP that, use our brain, do things correctly, not just follow others.

When the whole world think the same, terrible things happen.

Use your brian, please.

So, let me get this straight - you disagree with his assertion, but instead of using data do disprove it, you are going to call him names, and use a "guilt by association" attack via the "repeated by a lot of ignorant contrarians". Is that correct?

I believe your use of "asinine" is correct, but directed in the wrong direction.
