You are aware that the batteries in your home, which most cities require that you recycle are more toxic than CFLs as are dozens of other items found in the home?How do people feel about the current repeal of the "light bulb" ban?
I get it. The govt should not tell us what to buy, but at the same time my firm belief is that the roll of govt sometimes is to steer us in the right direction. Anyone care to sound out? Interesting debate: What is clearly a good thing for the planet and all in our benefit versus the roll of govt to legislate what we can and cannot buy (simplistically)...
Typical of the unintended consequences of "do gooders", they mandate that we use a product that is inherently more dangerous than the product previously available and in the long run, far worse for the enviornment.
What kind of thinking mandates that we put lightbulbs loaded with neurotoxins in our homes? What kind of thinking reaches the logical conclusion that putting these bulbs in landfills is a good idea?
I think if we ignored about 90% of the "do gooders" and "experts," we just might have a better planet on which to live. "Do gooders" and "experts" have caused us far more damage in the name of more causes than they have ever done good - it just takes them, on average, about 20 years to come up with conclusion that "we may have been wrong about ... ."
As to the light bulbs being foisted upon us - I do believe they are dangerous. (I think I have already posted this in another "light bulb" thread) - but when a city government says that the used bulbs cannot be tossed in the dumpsters with our other trash, but we have to deliver the used bulbs to a special location for disposal - I have to believe that there's a problem with those light bulbs. And if they're that dangerous I don't want them in my house. I have to confess that I don't have a good understanding of the "Commerce Clause" - but it appears that particular clause is the "open door" to make us purchase anything the government says we must purchase - whether it's light bulbs or healthcare insurance.
How is adding to the toxicity potential helpful in any way?You are aware that the batteries in your home, which most cities require that you recycle are more toxic than CFLs as are dozens of other items found in the home?
Nice non sequitur.
An incandescent light bulb isn't sewage and it's still none of your fucking business how I light my home or how much I spend to do it.
Using bulbs with minuscule amounts of mercury allows us to forego the building of power plants that dump tons of mercury and other pollutants into the air which adds toxins to our water and our food. We will also save millions of barrels of oil and/or tons of coal.How is adding to the toxicity potential helpful in any way?You are aware that the batteries in your home, which most cities require that you recycle are more toxic than CFLs as are dozens of other items found in the home?
Irrelevance piled upon irrelevance is still irrelevant....The only energy crises we have are those being created by do-gooder jackasses like you.
And it's still none of your fucking business.
You're just upset that Joe Barton got bitch-slapped on the light bulb vote.Why couldn't you think about minding your own fucking business?
What a fucking crybaby!Right...You can "choose" from the "options" provided to you by your gubmint masters...Like a good little subject.
Oddball dumps all his raw sewage into his posts.Right...You can "choose" from the "options" provided to you by your gubmint masters...Like a good little subject.
The options are given to us by industry. The ban is on the order of not putting raw swage into streams. Anyone that fought that is the spiritual anscestor of those who can't see the advantage in saving 75% on lighting costs!!!
