“I personally think it is outrageous to be told to buy expensive lightbulbs for places like storage rooms. I just want to be allowed to use my own common sense.”

In looking around my condo, I find that I am going to have to rip out the recessed lighting in my improved basement, and in my bedroom, because the CFLs can’t be used in recessed lighting areas. That’s probably a few thousand dollars. The modest chandelier fixtures in my living room & entryway use those flame-shaped bulbs – I guess I don’t get to use those anymore. The entryway to our condo has a light fixture that takes five bulbs. For some reason, three of the sockets won’t work with CFLs. The lamp post by our sidewalk won’t accommodate CFLs – it will have to be replaced.

I’m voting against all incumbents this November.
