AKRON, Ohio - Some funny-looking light bulbs are getting pretty
serious consideration these days.
Compact fluorescent bulbs - those swirled, energy-efficient light
bulbs - have been in the news a lot lately as people look for ways to
save money and save the planet.
In Australia in February, the government announced it's phasing
out sales of incandescent bulbs in favor of eco-friendly
fluorescents. A month earlier, a California legislator proposed a ban
on incandescents in that state. And Wal-Mart is in a yearlong
campaign to encourage each of its 100 million regular customers to
buy a compact fluorescent bulb.
