| How Many Lightbulbs Does it Take to Change the World?
One. And You're Looking At It.
For years, compact fluorescent bulbs have promised dramatic energy savings--yet they remain a mere curiosity. That's about to change.
Sitting humbly on shelves in stores everywhere is a product, priced at less than $3, that will change the world.
Soon. It is a fairly ordinary item that nonetheless cuts to the heart of a half-dozen of the most profound,
most urgent problems we face. Energy consumption. Rising gasoline costs and electric bills.
Greenhouse-gas emissions. Dependence on coal and foreign oil. Global warming.
The product is the compact fluorescent lightbulb, a quirky-looking twist of frosted glass.
In the energy business, it is called a "CFL," or an "energy saver." One scientist calls
it an "ice-cream-cone spiral," because in its most-advanced, most-appealing version, it
looks like nothing so much as a cone of swirled soft-serve ice cream.
