Down here we spend much more on cooling than heating, so this is a bonus for me.

About 85-90 per cent of the bulb’s energy is converted into heat, so the 30-40 to be found in an average four-bedroom house (totalling, say 3,000 watts) could produce as much warmth as a three-bar electric heater. Wholesale replacement of all those bulbs with CFLs will cause a drop in temperature. If the central heating is turned up there will be additional (mostly gas) energy use. Since 20 per cent of our electricity comes from very-low carbon nuclear power, the switch of fuel sources is not carbon-neutral. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/earticle/4281/">CFLs also require considerably more energy to manufacture, but since all that takes place in the Far East, it is not so obvious to greens.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A21A512F-FAB0-4DF7-AFBF-A1D77001CCA6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
