It's nothing to do with being shiningly-awesome. Your scientifically-backed observations about the dreadful effects of CF bulbs are opposed by a heap of scientifically-backed observations of the dreadful effects of doing nothing to reduce our levels of consumption.
It's just a very common pattern, as I said. If a person wants to avoid action, they first say that they don't know what actions to take; when some are suggested, they quibble with them individually and whinge about how hard it'd be; then they say well, I'm just one person, my changes would have no real effect anyway. Voila! No-one does anything!
There's always an excellent, scientifically-backed reason to do nothing at all. If you don't want to do anything, don't! You're in the USA, right? Like my own Australia, the world has given up on us and doesn't expect us to do anything. If we do anything at all useful and good in terms of consumption, the world will fall on their arses in surprise.
