It sounds as if you have moral qualms with the idea of people using flourescent light bulbs. Whether or not it saves the emissions of 800,000 cars a year or not, we're not talking about inciting people to genocide, here. If such statements encourage people to conserve energy in any way, shape, or form, then why can't that be a positive thing? It's certainly more admirable (in my book) than marketing energy-guzzling and/or polluting products for people to consume all they want.
