My topic that I am going to use to evaluate is the difference between incandescent vs fluorescent light bulbs, and which direction they are headed in. Right now most of everyone has incandescent light bulbs in there house with at least one or two fluorescent which are normally in the kitchen. According to the Energy Star website they state that "compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) will save about $30 over its lifetime and pay for itself in about 6 months. It uses 75 percent less energy and lasts about 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb." These will also save on your energy bills. In my opinion I am going to have to agree with all the research that I have seen. I do believe that in a couple of years then we will have all fluorescent light bulbs and we will not be able to find the incandescent light bulb. With that being said I do believe that it will cut down on the energy usage and cut down our energy bills. The next question to ask is "How long will fluorescent's last until LED lights become to take over and be more energy efficient?" I believe that LED light is to come in the future, and then there will be something that will be better and safer as time comes.
Here are a couple of sites that I researched:
