No doubt about that, but to make a CFL bulb looks like a more complicated process than a ILB, so there's going to be more energy and waste.. just wondering if anyone's seen any info on that side of things.

Kind of like a plastic bottle for a 1L bottle of bottled water supposedly uses 23L of water in the manufacturing process, uses however much oil, etc...
