This technology was then applied in the first commercially practical compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), designed by George Inman and General Electric Company. Due to the rising cost of electricity, both in the UK and many families and companies interested in reducing US costs, changed the lighting to compact fluorescent bulbs because they are average 10 times more effective. CFLs also help reduce the carbon emissions that lead to a gradual elimination under incandescent lights providing the EU are no longer available in 2011. Despite the potential to reduce costs yet won it the most vocal critics to conserve CFL energy in the popular press. Much of this criticism involves popular myths associated with "energy savers" who have long been eliminated by manufacturers.
With titles like "light green lights" can cause skin cancer '' (2008) and "Revolt! Deprived of their right to buy traditional bulbs "(2009), the Daily Mail leads the campaign against saving lamps. These reports have been struck by the government and the Association of lighting as irresponsible "horror stories" to sell newspapers and last year created the Energy Saving Trust to convert the public by introducing the "Pepsi Challenge" . This research to study the reactions of people for energy saving lamps, allowed people to enter in two different rooms, one lit by energy-saving lamps and the other by traditional lamps . The study found that half of the people could not tell the difference and additionally 2 in 3 people preferred to save energy.
Concerns about mercury content of energy saving lamps have also been a buzz documents all subjects. " Realistically compact but modern fluorescent lamps use mercury amalgam of a substitute who is completely safe to handle, transport and store and does not pose a direct risk to humans or the environment. Other lamps use recycled mercury and their price included a recycling charge which makes them much more environmentally friendly than incandescent bulbs.
With climate change an ongoing threat to our way of life, it is irresponsible for the Daily Mail for the war against the energy-saving products? The newspaper reported almost continuously throughout the recession began in "advice on cuts. As the news paper becomes increasingly obsolete, newspapers need more great gadgets and the most shocking headlines for spending units, resulting in claims of more and more foreign questionable facts.
