The part that didn't make sense was that you simply quoted the part that read, in effect, reducing dependency on fossil fuels is a good thing, then said that it didn't make sense

I did not say "reducing dependency on fossil fuels does not make sense". I said that the generalized argument that fossil fuel use can be reduced by using LED instead of incandescent technology "is not valid if you live in an area where electricity comes from nuclear." Nothing more, nothing less.

What is being pushed more than anything else right now? "Green" technology, good for the environment, stuff like that. Your average consumer might not know that most of their power comes from renewable sources or nuclear power, and would then figure that this is going to help save the planet...

To each his own, but to me this is dishonest.
