The CFLs at night are big and bright (Clap, clap, clap, clap), deep in the heart of Texas!
Gotta say, Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert does get around: He's giving away his salary to Dallas high school students today, and tomorrow he'll be down in San Antonio, along with the mayors of San Antonio, Houston, Austin, and El Paso, to announce the "state bulb" of Texas, the compact florescent light. At least, that's the title of the press release. What they're actually doing is just calling upon all Texans to make the switch to CFLs to reduce energy usage. Whether it'll actually join the bluebonnet and the mockingbird as things officially adopted by the state is unclear.
