That is another point that seems to have been ignored.

If the whole nation goes energy conscious and use nothing but these energy saving light bulbs (which is being forced on us by 2011) the energy companies are going to sell less electricity.
Selling less electricity means less income.
Less income means less profit.
Less profit means increase in cost of electricity to maintain the profit margins for the fats cats and shareholders.

Result we, as usual, pay more.
