Big companies need to be forced to cut their energy consumption. The lunatic company I work for has a policy of leaving all dektops (2000+) on all the time.

As the IT department script upgrades etc for next reboot anyway, it's completely pointless.

So we have many kilowatts of PCs doing nothing, plus the air con fighting against the heat. Plus piles of other equipment in addition to the PCs.

I've made suggestions to the management, who did precisely nothing. Obviously the cost of electricity isn't enough incentive for them to do anything about it.

Against this kind of waste, installing energy efficient bulbs is almost pointless.
