I AM WITH THE TEA BAGGERS ON THIS ONE
Give Up Familiar Light Bulb? Not Without Fight, Some Say
Even a blind pig will find an acorn once in a while. Stopped clocks tell the correct time twice a day. And every so often the tea bags find an issue I can agree with.
I am down with repealing the incandescent light bulb law which is really a performance requirement law which most incandescent 100 W bulbs can't meet.
I will not use the mercury loaded curly cue bulbs that are made outside the US.
Look at this if you doubt their safety. Un-fucking-believable.
Air the room. Get kids and pets outside! Keerist!
When we bought the condo they had some of the CFLs in place. They have been removed. I just bought a bunch of 100W incandescents. I might stockpile some more.
It is probably too late. GE just closed their last US plant for the grand old bulb.
We shall see what we shall see.
Here is another set of ten steps. You don't have to clear the room for this one, I guess.
