"Sitting humbly on shelves in stores everywhere is a product, priced less than $3, that will change the world... A lightbulb is no big deal–until you multiply by 100 million."

This month's Fast Company explains how Wal-Mart and GE are about the make the compact fluorescent lightbulb sell like crazy. Just how much can 100 million energy-efficient lightbulbs make a difference? That's enough to power a city of 1.5 million people... or taking 1.3 million cars off the road. Yowza!

My wife got irritated because I had changed every bulb in the house to fluorescent in one form or another. Only the big lamp in the living room was to remain incandescent when I was done (because she said she would kill me if I touched HER 300 watt reading lamp.) I did also give in a little and put bulbs in the dining room that LOOK like regular bulbs but are still curley Q's inside. Even the 5 spotlights around the outside of my house are curley Q's in spotlight form.
