The theory that v8s pollute more than 4s is an interesting argument.Say Europe and Japan have mainly 4s then they should have little or no pollution,but they have a lot of cars then how about China and Indian they have mainly 4s and also the worlds larges

Hey guys, heres another "scam".
Compact flourescent globes. All the talk about replacing incandecent globes with them. Great idea in theory. But guess what? An incandescent may be say 60W, but it runs at a power factor of say 0.8. Thats 75VA. An 11W co |

Byron, you are correct in saying compact flouros have a poor PF, but even with the increased losses in the transmission/distibution system they use far less energy than the old incandesent, (which has a PF of very close to 1.0 by the way).
