Remember when the world was going to end because Nanny State was going to make us get compact fluorescent bulbs? It all seems so long ago. Those ignorant, reactionary days of 2008. Now, we’re crazy for the wee blighters.

According to the Building Research Association of New Zealand: “84 percent of homes had at least one compact fluorescent light (CFL)”

I bet the same reactionaries who were refusing to give up incandescents would have been isaying they would never give up gas for electric a hundred years ago. I can’t wait till they’re all swearing they’ll never go over to LEDs and vowing we’ll have to take their CFLs from their cold, dead hands.
