Treehugger: Wal-Mart Aims To Sell 100 Million Compact Fluorescents In One Year

I thought this was something to think about. Wal-Mart Aims To Sell 100 Million Compact Fluorescents In One Year. The plan is to reduce energy consumption by turning Americans on to Compact Fluorescent (CF) bulbs. Treehugger's readers bash Wal-mart for this effort which is why I am including some other address to balance out the vitriol spewing haters. I swear some people are just not happy, you hang 'em with a new rope and all they do is whine, whine, whine. The other sites are http://www.walmartfacts.com/articles/3780.aspx and http://www.fastcompany.com/subscr/108/open_lightbulbs.html . I am not sure how those will come out, so I will also list them like this FAST company report and Walmart's own release. What is your opinion?

Lewis, Thanks for the friendly, encouraging comment . . . and for the link, too! By the way, I hate flourescent lights (they make my eyes blur and head spin) but I have compact flourescent lights scattered around my house and have them installed in many outside places at my church. Like surgery and glasses, some things are worth having even if we would prefer not to have them at all!
