How would more money be taken out of your wallet when CFL and LED lights are far cheaper to run and last a lot longer than the inefficient incandescent bulbs - thereby saving you quite a bit of money in the long run?
"The typical incandescent bulb lasts about 1,000 hours, while a 15-watt CFL bulb lasts 10,000 hours and a 12-watt LED bulb lasts 25,000 hours. In other words, incandescents last about a year while CFLs can last 10 years and LEDs up to 25."
Again its none of your business what I want to purchase!
Oh, well the last primary lead smelting plant, the Doe Run plant in Missouri, has now been shut down because it was too costly to update the plant to meet the latest EPA standards. So, that means all newly smelted lead must be imported, and that is where it will have to come from for ammunition manufacturing. Up goes the price of ammo!
Unless lead is outlawed for ammunition like in California.
Anyone who thinks that transitioning to more energy efficent bulbs is equivilent to a dictatorship that murdered millions of civilians and started a world war needs to get their head checked. Quit screaming Nazi's like drama queens and Godwinning, and come up with a real point if you want to be taken seriously.
Most tweens aren't even as much of a drama llama as conservatives about this.
I guess the day has not started without raging at trivial things.
Tsk tsk tsk, you poor baby. So incensed over lightbulbs! Me, I could care less. Go & stock up, every store I've been in has tons on sale. Buy em up & quit whining.
You don't need a ton if you get 130V. They aren't more expensive than 120V and last easily 10 times longer. I've never seen them at big box stores, but light bulb stores carry them.
Again its none of your business what I want to purchase!
Manufacturing companies won't continue to keep tooled up to make old-fashioned inefficient products just because some people can't cope with the 21st century.
I'm with you. Those crazy green nazi's stopped whale hunting and I can't use may whale oil lamps anymore.
I'm still upset at the high cost of candles
