Why use CFLs?
CFL’S bearing the ENERGY STAR label use 75% less energy than traditional bulbs, can lasts up to 10 times longer, save $35 or more on energy costs over their lifetime, and generate 90% less heat. If every American swapped just ONE traditional bulb for a CFL, it would collectively eliminate the building of 8 fossil fuel power plants, prevent burning 30 Billion pounds of coal, save $8 billion in energy costs, and remove 2 million cars worth of greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere.
