I want to know the answer to the following question:
Do CFLs consume more, less, or the same amount of energy as incandescent bulbs?
All the background I'm provided with is that "However, even though they contain mercury, the environmental performance of CFLs is much better than that of light bulbs, mostly because they consume much less energy and therefore strongly reduce the environmental impact of power production.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
