CFLs and LEDs

SUMMARY: This article lays out nice and clearly the pros and cons of incandescent, CFL, LED, and nanofiber light bulbs. I did not know that CFLs (as well as containing mercury which usually gets into water-tables) emit harmful levels of UV light which you shouldn't sit close to -- as I do when reading (aaaargh!). I found LEDs at the Marquette Menard's -- not too expensive considering the savings over time. Neat LED night-lights too.
