Or maybe that 1955 AirCon Unit set to 55F is a bit extreme.

This summer I used a 12k and 5.5k btu window unit quite a lot, and my highest bill was about $90

Dude you're in MICHIGAN. A/C cost in summer are elbow grease to open the window and make sure the screens are not full of holes.

500 years. Worst application for a CFL, since they take a minute to heat up and produce light.

When are you coming out of your closet?

I would think that it would NEVER pay for itself. I don't think CFLs are the greatest for on-off applications. I put one in our external light and it was triggered by a motion sensor. They replaced bulb after bulb on the warranty.
