Europe just calls them heat spheres now. Light is just a waste byproduct.

The evil racist hate filled Republicans just want to destroy the planet while making profits for big oil.

Quoted: A whole lotta people who are hoarding bulbs are gonna be pissed... Meh, I'll use them eventually. Of course, I just bought a few extra boxes each month instead of taking out a second mortgage and filling up a storage unit in anticipation of selling them at 100% markup. |

Just because it's something small it doesn't mean they shouldn't do it if they have the opportunity. |

I hope this repeal pass before the National War on Incandescent Light Bulbs. |

After this, they can get to work on removing the restrictions on how much water a toilet can use.
After that, they can get started on the 5,099,394,238* useless regs that should be handled on a state/local level. *Made up number, but it is probably accurate to the 100,000. |

Certainly with the economy in shambles, yes, but that's a different story. In truth, the incandescent light bulb is still the best thing going, IMHO. Certainly more heat discharge per lumen, but the alternative foisted upon us will not solve the energy problem, while causing more problems. 1) More households will typically need more "environmentally friendly" lights to get close to what the incandescent light bulb is able to provide. Result: Likely no energy savings, but a boost the lamp industries. (Similar to the effect after the low-volume toilets were foisted upon us) 2) "Environmentally friendly" bulbs, when broken, are a toxic nightmare. Have you read the instructions of what to do when one breaks, and disperses mercury? Open windows, don rubber gloves. Great. Result: Someone will eventually put forth a lawsuit for exposure to a toxic substance.

Quoted: Europe just calls them heat spheres now. Light is just a waste byproduct. -Foxxz That is actually true for incandescent bulbs, 95% of the energy used is emitted as heat, 5% as light. |

The energy saving are real and the light they produce is enough. However, the light that is produced is far less pleasing to the eye than the warm light of incandescent bulbs. I'll stick with incandescent. As to the toxicity, this is an argument that the enviro-hippies to ban things that otherwise work good. |

Damn. If this gets repealed, putting a pat. on the 99 watt bulb was a total waste. And I'll need to cancel a large order.
