Fluorescent lightbulbs

An interesting article about the coming ubiquity of fluorescent lightbulbs.
"...if every one of 110 million American households bought just one [fluorescent] bulb, took it home, and screwed it in the place of an ordinary 60-watt bulb, the energy saved would be enough to power a city of 1.5 million people."
I just had to replace a fluorescent bulb in the kitchen that I put in less than four years ago, which isn't supposed to happen. I went to Home Depot where I bought the bulbs and found that they no longer carry that brand (Commercial Electric). Also they didn't have any "soft yellow" anymore. I don't like the light from the white bulbs.
