Do you still use fluorescent lightbulbs in 2026? Or any other bulbs that aren't LED? (thelemmy.club)

This is why we have global warming - it's because you won't switch away from incandescent lights. Not the oil industry or the private jets or the data centers or the billionaires... it's your fault. Why are you like this?

    Your comment reminded me of this exchange from 30 Rock:

    "Good for you, sir! Did you know that fluorescent light bulbs last ten times longer than regular ones?"
    "Yup. And they only use one quarter of the power. But if we're gonna solve the climate crisis, we've got to change more than the light bulbs and the windows. We've got to change the laws and the policies through collective political action on a large scale."
