Well, you're atom of mercury saved is a bit of drama as well. Energy saved is a boit of a relative thing, as the power comanies need to produce more than anticipaded use, so if we all unplug a TV set for 20 minutes, then plug it in again, the power comanies didn't have time to react & save anything - many less watts demanded, but very little change in energy burned to make electricity....
I've had mixed results with the curly bulbs, I do consider them more dangerous to me that incadesents, but do have a handful in use. One is in the unheated barn, works at below zero even, been there 4 years or more. Tried one in a pump monitor fixture thought that would be great energy savings, but it burned out in less than a week, no go.
In the house, I find I need the 100 watt rated curly bulbs to come close to replacing a 60 watt incadesent, and have not found a 100 watt rated curly that I find acceptable to replace a regular 100 watt bulb.
But I'm not against the things, they do save electricity where they work, and in my mind & experience they work in about 1/2 the places for me. Where they work, I use them as the regular bulbs burn out.
I resent the fact that the govt is forcing the issue and telling me what to do, forcing me to use them even if they do not properly work for me in some of my situations.
