No I meant that the change the US made in 2007 to CFLs (i.e. the people that did use CFLs in 2007 across the country compared to if those CFLs had been incandescent). So in just one year (2007) the country saved 30 years of Washington DC's total annual energy demand.

Well I don't know if I necessarily disagree with him... Determining the cause of an observed phenomenon is one thing, projecting the consequences into the future is another, but I'm not sure if we're not already past a tipping point or if not if we will be able to change enough to avoid one.
