Not only do these bulbs waste energy, they are a hazardous waste, and now:

CFL Light Bulbs and UV Skin Cancer Risks

A study funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and
published in a recent issue of the journal Photochemistry and Photobiology
found widespread chipping or cracking in the phosphor surface coating of
nearly all the compact fluorescent bulbs they examined. These cracks allow
UV rays to escape, which would have been absorbed by the phosphor coating
and converted to safe, visible light.
As reported in many new services, including “HealthDay,
“most of the bulbs ‘have cracks in the phosphor coating, probably due to the
fact that the coating is brittle and has trouble making the tight bends
required to make these bulbs compact,” explained study lead author Miriam
Rafailovich, a professor of materials science and engineering and director
of the Garcia Center for Polymers at Engineered Interfaces at Stony Brook
University in Stony Brook, N.Y. ‘As a result, we observed, by eye, defects
in nearly all the bulbs that we studied.” The researcher added that 
“skin cells exposed to [compact fluorescent light] emissions showed the same
damage as those exposed to UV light” when placed close, less than one foot,
to a CFL bulb. (SOURCE)
