No Mercury. No Government Subsidized Expensive Lightbulbs. Amazing that we have to have a Bill to try and bring back what never should have been taken away in the first place.
Go Michelle! Go Tea Party!
Go Tea Party is right! The lefties are losing ground. Their messiah is losing ground. Dems are dropping like flies. Left winger media continues to die and it looks like the light bulb issue has driven them to revert to children.
Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann on Tuesday reintroduced the "Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act," a bill to repeal a 2007 law mandating that incandescent light bulbs be phased out.
"The government has no business telling an individual what kind of light bulb to buy," she said in a news release Wednesday.
I just want a regular 100 watt bulb, my daughters Eazy Bake Oven won't work without them and I can't find one anywhere.
I am having trouble finding the old style 'mongol' style 3-way bases (the base of the buld is much bigger than the medium buld (just like the medium to candabrella base)
errrrmmmmm, Ms. Tea Party no govt.' handouts Bachmann is the recipient of farm subsidies, or did you folks forget that little tidbit? Will she be returning those anytime soon?
Go tea party (except in this case). And, gee here I though there were only hypocrites on the left.
I see we are really attacking the big issues these days.
I consider the federal govenrment telling yo what you must use a big issue. The item being discussed is small, i.e. a lightbulb, but if we allow them to do that, then whats next?

Try the big box hardware stores, they have a whole isle of lightbulbs.
There is just no way I'm going to have 1500 watts of light in my kitchen everytime (with nearly 2 dozen lightbulbs) I go in for a glass of milk.. The curly light bulbs have helped me keep this down to less than 400 watts..
The rest of the house is just as ridiculous.. 15 lightbulbs in the bedroom, 8 in the bathroom, 10 in another bedroom.. not a chance I want to be paying for 60 watt lighgbulbs to be on..
I am waiting for the LED prices to drop
CFL only last 2-3 years (although they say 7)..a led should last 25 years

it's not so much they want to tell us what to do . It's finding new ways to funnel our tax dollars to one of their cronies. Some left winger is in the bulb business.
