How did it "work"? did the net water supply on planet earth increase? You'd have done better to get america to slim down, obese people take shits much more often than thin.
I believe in the overall accuracy of our coarse stellar fusion models, and that we will thus have a means to generate more electricity or power more heat engines, than a thousand earths could use, for a period of well over a billion years.
sure, I have CFL that have been running for years too, but that's just the tail end of a bell curve. Three years of most bulbs being CFL in my home, and it's still very much a wash if I really am going to get a cost savings with all the failures of the major brands (GE, Sylvania, Phillips). Of course, the replacements have claimed higher quality, but we'll see.
we immediately dismiss claims made that are impossible by the laws of this universe. For instance, using part of your car engine's power output to crack water, then injecting the hydrogen / oxygen mix into the engine and claiming you have invented a system that lets your car run on water. Or claiming that a car powered by compressed air is immensely more efficient than liquid fossil fuels. This falls into such a category.
Reputable like GE, Sylvania or Phillps? I've had early failures with all those, and good luck with actually getting a replacement. In six more months I'll know if my use of them over the past three years was worth it, might be a wash. I have many CFL in the house, except for two places with dimmers (CFL dimming bulbs suck, won't go to low brightness but just off), and three of the "three-way" bulbs (CFL versions also suck and die early).
there will be no rational solution to the budget problem, the USA will continue to get further in debt regardless of the details, and the parasites of the global banking cartel will continue to enrich themselves.
everyone in my neighborhood throws them in the trash since centers that take them are too far away, and everyone has had at least one break in their home.
Face it, these are a bad solution compared to the newly announced LED bulbs, we should have skipped over this step.
"problem" in the context meant "puzzle" or "paradox". I think we should emulate the French, and drink more wine, have more sex, and eat more French cuisine; making more virtual french people in this world
how unscientific, you have made that statement without experimental confirmation. I would suggest a few drunken tailbone hanging sessions with a dominatrix before making rash judgments.
Some of us had to read much more than 44 pages as we studied fluid dynamics in college. Apparently, there are rules for such things in this universe with no known exceptions.

No, the focus of your article was BOOZE, not red wine, which is a different matter. Proven anti-carcinogenic properties, proven antibacterial and antibiotic-like properties, proven anti-arterial plaque properties, proven cardiovascular health benefits.
Quit your prudish teetotaling whining, get your wuss ass down to the liquor store, and plug into a bottle of God's own cure to half a man's ills.

his two failures had enough mercury to poison, by EPA definitions, 5000 liters of water.
You are the tail end of a bell curve. Thanks for the report, tail.
Meanwhile, everyone I know has multiple early failures, and also tosses them in the trash.
For three-quarters of the year, the heat output of an incandescent isn't wasted where I live.

why not let the market decide when truly viable solution appears (ie. less cost, true long life, true good light output, not toxic if broken).

Almost always, it is the government who pays these scientists, for government projects, schools, and research centers.
The contribution of the banking cartel parasites is negligible.

The article is bull feces.

See my reply above yours.
I personally believe it is due to wine, more sex, and the right kind of fats and oils.

no, a fifth of grape juice is way too much of a sugary drink, I would throw up and have a headache. A fifth of wine presents no problem whatsoever....
you are wrong, all of the people whose body parts were used to construct Frankenstein's Monster had normal births
