Energy Star
claims that one compact fluorescent bulb, including initial cost, will save
you $14 per year and over $50 over the lifetime of the bulb.

Cities, schools
and some businesses are now using LED lamps for exit signs, stop lights, and
in other places that stay on 24/7.
They are more expensive to start with, but are even more efficient and
long lasting than CFLs (also, contain no mercury).

Don’t worry,
though. CFLs with no mercury will soon be available. See EPA’s website for clean-up procedures
if one happens to break. You do NOT need a hazmat team!
