Me, months ago: You know, it'd save on our electricity bill if we swapped all the incandescent bulbs in the house for compact fluorescents.

Dad, in reply: But it'd waste our stash of incandescents. Let's wait till we're running out of the bulbs we've got before we buy new ones.

Me: Fair enough.

Mom, today: Oh, you're going to Lowe's? Buy a bunch more incandescent bulbs while teh Ebil Gubmint still lets us.

Dad, in reply: Okay.

Me, silently: GAAAH.

Indeed.

The porch light and one of the bare basement bulbs is now compact fluorescent. The rest? HAHAHAhahahahaaaaaaaa. (The rest will get done, but it'll be slow.)

Unfortunately our experience with compact fluorescents has not been good. We replaced 2/3 of our bulbs with them over the past two years. Half of them have burned out since then, while the incandescents continue on. Given their cost and the fact that they are advertised as having a much longer lifespan, this doesn't bode well.

Yes, my publicly traded energy company sending me free CFL bulbs was all part of the government's dastardly plot to force people not to destroy the planet on which they depend. It's all so clear to me now!
