		<link><![CDATA[http://blogs.zdnet.com/emergingtech/?p=985]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[You all know that incandescent bulbs are pretty inefficient, converting only 10% of electricity into light -- and 90% into heat. Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, could soon replace incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs in our homes. They are more efficient and environmentally friendly. But LED lights are currently too expensive...]]></description>
