The Lcd process has to use more energy to produce then blowing of a
glass tube. It would also produce much more toxic waste in its manufacture.
As for teh going green by installing mini fluros... the biggest crock of
all. The same thing applies (it was actually researched for a UK
magazine by some one there, cant find it right now). Not only does it
take more energy (than you save) to manufacture these, they also produce
more toxic waste in their manufacture and then they produce more toxic
waste on their disposal. True they save money for the householder....
but they are not GREEN. Dont forget the Kyoto rubbish where we then pay
the Chinese (and other countries producing these) more money as carbon
tax for them to produce even more greenhouse gas than we do. We also
sell some of them our coal that is supposedly too ungreen for us to use.

They weigh a ton also (well, about 25kg each). Actually a flat panel
is only about twice as energy efficient as a CRT. However flat panels
don't give as much radiation. However I am recycling I guess, as
otherwise the monitors would probably go into a land fill - I don't
know how much energy goes into producing a flat panel either. There
is a lot to consider if you try to be green ;-).
