CFLs on Yahoo! Answers?

Question

Does anyone notice that Yahoo! Answers now uses a CFL instead of a normal lightbulb to signify a "bright idea?" I think it's kind cool...but...

What's up with that? Is it part of the radical environmental agenda? Are they pushing their leftist Democrat, freedom-hating, America-bashing global warming paranoia on us? Thoughts? Opinions?

Answer 1

Um...no.

It is simply a reflection of the changing shifts in societal attitudes towards "going green."  What's so "anti-American" about saving money on one's electric bill? How is promoting energy efficiency an "affront" to liberty and American values?  It seems the paranoia is coming from those who display knee-jerk reactions and stubbornness to anything deviating from wasteful consumerism, hampering real economic and social progress.  

Welcome to the 21st century.
