Your arguments would have more impact if you would LEARN TO SPELL! Ever try a spell-checker?

Fluorescents more efficient?

The comparison to inefficient incandescent lamps is inappropriate; how do LED lamps compare, lumen/watt, with various fluorescent lamps (efficient cool-white, warm white, color balanced)? At the present, LED lamps, I believe, lag behind.

Maybe Gates and Buffet should learn from Branson

If they would take some small percent of the foundation and invest in these technologies they'll have a nice cash flow in return and it will help save the planet. I'm sure some big cash will speed up the process by ten times.

Try LED light bulbs @ reasonable price

Industry R & D is making great strides in upping the lumens and lowering the cost of LED lighting, but we still are years away from getting something on store shelves that will adequatly repacae the CFL. If you want to try some LEDs at a reasonable price www.shop.donsgreenstore.com is one place you can try. Granted they are dim bulbs, but it does give you a taste of things to come, and they work great as night lights.
