From the Washington Post:
"I have heard time and again that a husband goes out and puts the bulb into the house, thinking he is doing a good thing....Then, the CFL bulb is changed back out by the women. It seems that women are much more concerned with how things look. We are the nesters."
Wendy Reed, director of the federal government's Energy Star campaign explaining why American households have been slower to adopt compact flourescent lightbulbs than most developed countries*.
*as you'll recall I took the CFL plunge sometime back--and my wife hasn't switched them back yet. What's taking the rest of you so long?
