I was looking into getting some of these bulbs but couldn't find any made  in 
the USA. All the ones I saw were made in China. No thanks!

Another interesting, and I hope, continuing discussion.  There are  already a 
few compact fluorescent bulbs
(the spiral type) which will operate via conventional dimmers.  No  doubt 
that feature will be extended across the full range of wattages to  satisfy 
demand and regulations.  The 'warm-up' time, from my experience,  is about 20 to 30 
seconds and may be inherent.  Both fluorescent tubes  and CFL's are available 
in different 'color temperatures' for those whose  color perception is 
sharper than mine.
 
The real plus for CFL's, from the energy use point of view is that of  
providing equal brightness from only 20 to 25 percent of the energy  consumption of 
an incandescent, not to mention longer bulb life; years instead  of months.  
The higher first cost is more than offset by the energy  savings.
