Nah, don't worry. I'm not as thin skinned as some think!

You know I appreciate your concern and objectiveness (except for the comment I can't quite agree with).
|
I don't mind honest disagreements and constructive criticism. Actually, I invite you to either post your disagreement directly to the blog article as a comment (see comment link at bottom of article), or perhaps do a guest post on the
Green Team blog arguing your counterpoint, or even both. We've had alot of guest posters on the blog and would always welcome more.

One thing I can not find much info about yet, is the energy cost that goes into making one CFL versus 12 or 13 incandescent bulbs(?).

I'm truly not trying to be difficult by pointing out that such calculations will very much depend on
where the bulbs in question were originally manufactured,
who manufactured them (and how efficient their production processes were) and
what power source was used for the production, among other factors. Most figures I've seen in the past use average US production figures, but I seriously doubt that the CFLs that the government bought were US-made. Much more probable is China.
