CFLs are way better for everything. They save you money, and they cut down on the electricity generated. About 51% of our electric power in the US comes from burning coal, which has some pretty nasty by-products.
I just bought a CFL for a lightbulb in my room. My other bulbs were 75 watts, the CFL I bought is 19 watts. It uses less energy, and is even brighter! Also, it is a whiter light, which looks a lot better than the yellowish light of an incadescent.
Look for CFLs at lowes or homedepot. They cost a little more now, but they last 10 – 13 times longer, and use about 1/3 the electricity. It’s win win!
