Just made a group for YWS over at http://www.OneBillionBulbs.com , and added a link to it over on the My YWS & Home page.
I'm a huge fan of gadgets, and CFL bulbs are right up there. I like the light from them better, and they look cooler too. Plus, it is kind of astonishing the amount of energy savings you can obtain from just one bulb.
To be honest, I don't know if Global Warming is a hoax or reality (believe me when I say I've read tons about the subject). Either way, I try to do my part by helping the environment through biking whenever I can (I frequently bike to work from the suburbs to downtown DC), promoting conservation and safe environmental practices through my activities with the Boy Scouts of America, and donating money each month to a park in my area. But reducing pollution is good in any case, and CFL bulbs are one of the few cost-effective ways to do it. Just make sure you dispose of them properly! Otherwise you're negating whatever positive benefits you made.
Heh... this is somewhat of the political activist in me that I try to hide from the site, but I figure this is a good cause, CFL bulbs are cool gadgets anyways, and it looks very nice in the sidebar
