Jay Arthur asked:
I heard that the production of an energy saving lightbulb takes up more energy / resources than when making a conventional bulb. I just wondered if this was true. Even if it is, surely the reduction in energy consumed over the lifespan of the energy saving bulb would more than outweigh any extra used in making it?

The same energy and resources to burn as regular incandescent light bulbs so the manufacture as regular incandescent light bulbs even with all of manufacturing incandescent light bulbs that because.
Yes, but manufacture takes a very short time compared to how long they’re in operation.
So overall, they do save substantial energy.
