The future is brighter for green lightbulbs
The environmentalleader.com posted today that a California Assemblyman will introduce a bill to ban incandescent lightbulbs. Groovy Green reports that incandescent light bulbs are very inefficient - wasting up to 95% of the energy used to make their light and with the average household spending around a fifth of their electrical bill on lighting, changing to more energy efficient light bulbs could have a huge impact. A 20-watt Compact Fluorescent lightbulb gives as much light as a 75-watt incandescent bulb and lasts 13 times longer.
The technology of the Fluorescent lightbulbs have grown considerably, eliminating many of the complaints people had about the color temperature, shape and even expense. Here is a wide selection of affordable bulbs to choose from at Conserv A Store.com

I am dazzled by this fire and water table lamp which features dimmable compact fluorescent bulbs. The shade is composed entirely of recycled glass and Environ (a bio-composite made with soy flour and recycled paper). The base is also made of Environ.
