The Obama admin had no right banning the incandescent light bulb. This was done to placate the enviro wackos. Note, GE was given virtual tax exempt status by Obama if the company agreed to go along with that stupid green energy initiative....Just for anyone who wants a good laugh
Save The Incandescent Light Bulb U.S. Congressman Marsha Blackburn
House Rep Marsha Blackburn (TN) is sponsoring a bill (HR 91) to save the incandescent lightbulb.....
...
Really, this is real. She believes Obama's energy standards are going to lead to the incandescent lightbulb disappearing and not being available to middle class Americans. She lists this as one of her top 7 priorities for her current term in Congress.
What's up for next year Marsha? "Save the Fax Machine"? "Save the Dial-up Modem"? "Save the Pay Phone"?
Now, should there be more efficient ways of lighting our communities. Absolutely. The government should not be picking winners and losers to accomplish this.
Left to advance lighting technology, CFC's would never have hit the market. Instead we'd see a far more widespread use of LED bulbs.
In fact LED's are far cooler, give off more light than CFC's and last longer. There is no "lag" time for operation of LED's. They are instant on/off...
I refuse to buy CFC's....I use LED bulbs. And why? Because those pricks in Washington thought they could ram those pieces of shit down our throats.
you mean CFL's....compact fluorescent lamp (or light). CFC's are the chemicals that were banned due to creating ozone holes.
