Material Tranquility in an Artifactual Environment

 I read an article this morning that really caught my attention.  It was about LED lighting.  You can see why it excited me so, can't you?  LED lighting is pretty cool.  Literally.  It puts out very little heat and thereby saves gobs of energy.  As a matter of fact, in comparison to incandescent bulbs, LED lights last about 50 times as long, use about a tenth of the kilowattage, and cost about one tenth as much per year.  (As a side note; if you have algae problems, like the great Mammoth Cave, LED lights will help to kill the algae and keep your cave crickets from spending all of their time inside.)  They are also mercury free (unlike compact florescent bulbs). 

While all of this info did impress me I never would have mentioned it here if a single line had been omitted from the article.  The owner of the store was quoted as saying that, "You don't have to change your lifestyle, just the lights."

I beg to differ.
