Since I put an LED bulb in the back porch, I've had to change the kitchen light 5 times, including about an hour ago. Glad LED lights are getting better and the cost is dropping.
If we left it up to Republicans, we would be rubbing two sticks together to make fire.
Good, I am tired of the envorsocialists telling me what I can and cannot buy.Hey i'm really starting to like this Republican House of Representatives. It feels good to be proud of the Republican Party. It's been awhile...
Republican House members are preparing themselves to take a stand to save the incandescent light bulb.
Monday, the House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 2417, the Better Use of Light Bulbs (BULB) Act, a bill to repeal the federal ban on the incandescent light bulb, contained in a 2007 energy law.
Sponsored by Texas Republican Rep. Joe Barton, the bill would protect Americans’ ability to use the kind of light bulbs they want and not be forced to use mercury containing light sources such as compact fluorescent lights.
“This is about more than just energy consumption, it is about personal freedom. Voters sent us a message in November that it is time for politicians and activists in Washington to stop interfering in their lives and manipulating the free market,” Barton said. “The light bulb ban is the perfect symbol of that frustration. People don’t want Congress dictating what light fixtures they can use.”
Texas Republican Rep. Michael Burgess and Tennessee Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn joined Barton and 12 other Republicans to reintroduce the bill in early 2011.
“These are the kinds of regulations that make the American people roll their eyes,” said Blackburn. “It is typical of a ‘big Washington’ solution to a non-existent problem. In this case it manifests itself as an overreach into every American home, one that ships good jobs overseas and infuriates the American consumer.” (FEMA faces House heat for taking over flood insurance policies)
Come Monday, Americans may be one step closer to having absolute freedom in their light source choices.
“Traditional incandescent bulbs are cheap and reliable. Alternatives, including the most common replacement Compact Fluorescent Lights or CFL’s, are more expensive and health hazards – so why force them on the American people?” said Barton. “From the health insurance you’re allowed to have, to the car you can drive, to the light bulbs you can buy, Washington is making too many decisions that are better left to you and your family.”

That's because obamaturd is the biggest envirosocialist.Obama will veto. Won't get past committee in the Senate.
Thomas Edison would be so proud of you guys preserving his invention. However, if every one of 110 million American households screwed it in just one energy saver bulb in place of an ordinary 60-watt bulb, the energy saved would be enough to power a city of 1.5 million people. If all American homes were equipped with all energy saver bulbs, the nation would save enough electricity to power New York City, Chicago, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Los Angles.Hey i'm really starting to like this Republican House of Representatives.

I agree with this. We have florescent lighting at the office and it bothers me immensely, so I brought some lamps in and keep the overheads turned off.
I may start smuggling light bulbs from across the border when this ban takes place.

Bripat hates democracy and thinks communists and the Democrats are the same.
With all the problems we face, the GOP is focused on light bulbs. Ain't that swell.
Joe "The Free Marketer" Barton shouldn't be using free market arguments, especially after he voted yes for the auto bailout, cash for clunkers, agricultural subsidies, banning internet gambling, among other things. Yet, this goon parades around and uses the free market for incandescent light bulbs.
This is just more GOP dumbass talking points.
I don't know Barton's voting record completely but i'll take your word on that. I can only speak for myself. I don't agree with his votes on those other issues but i do agree with him on this. Government Banning light bulbs and forcing Citizens to buy a particular light bulb just isn't right. It's a ridiculous Government over-reach. Let the People decide for themselves which light bulb they want to use. This should not be a Government issue at all.
What other things "shouldn't" the government restrict your right to buy?
Kiddie porn?
LAWS Rockets?
Thermal Nuclear Devices?
Slaves?
Do tell..
In the name of personnel freedom we could make the sale on un-pasteurized milk legal throughout the country. How about repealing the seat belt laws or texting while driving?
When benefits are so great to the whole nation, we sometimes need laws that limit personal freedom. We seem to have so many people that believe they should be able to do anything they wish, no taxes, no regulations, and no restrains on personal freedom. It's too bad they couldn't have lived a few hundred years ago because they have no place in modern day society.
did you say that when the Democrats banned them?.....we had problems then too.....
You mean when Republican George Bush banned them don't you?
Note to Fox News: George W. Bush Banned Incandescent Light Bulbs
my question still stands Wytch......Anti made his statement.....im saying to him, were you complaining when Democrats around the Country were talking about Light Bulbs instead of our more serious problems.....simple as that.....and i should not have used the word Banned.....because they are not being banned.....the Wattage is just being down graded.....

Let's see...the "ban" went into effect before the financial meltdown. So, what "problems" were we facing at that time that needed to be addressed and wasn't?
The current House isn't doing anything else...

Do you miss him yet?
