Yesterday in New York City, Rupert Murdoch announced that News Corporation (his baby with 47,000 employees) would implement a company-wide energy plan to become carbon-neutral by 2010. You may also recall that Australia recently banned the sale of incandescent light bulbs and that California and Connecticut were considering similar steps.

Since the Villages management prides itself on being environmentally green, you wonder why they haven't installed compact florescent lighting in all lampposts throughout the Villages and maybe spearheaded a campaign to promote these energy savers among all Village homeowners. It might be prohibitively expensive for the Villages to retrofit existing homes (lampposts) but it could begin with all new construction.

By itself it may not solve the climate problem but it's the environmentally correct thing to do. Does anyone have experience with purchasing these compact florescent light bulbs. I've heard that they're very affordable when purchased in contractor packs of 20 from either Home Depot or Costco?
