The claims are true; anyone with a watt meter can measure it for themselves, and most of us who own them can attest to their longer lifespan.
People don't buy them for various reasons:
- the inability to see past the initial cost of the bulbs vs. the savings over time they will gain
- no economic impetus (have enough money not to care)
- just don't care to begin with (the same people who buy an SUV instead of a minivan or car that would suit their needs just as well)
Not all people like or can stand fluorescent light - that is fine. I agree that we can do much more for the environment by tackling immigration than having the government tell us which bulbs we should use.
