Just this week, he once again sounded the alarm about the dangers of fossil fuels and the need to pursue alternative sources of energy. He is also determined to purse “green” energy projects, despite some well publicized disasters such as Solyndra. In spite of $535 million in federal government loans, the solar panel manufacturer went bankrupt. The administration was able to stage some nice photo opportunities, but the public’s money was wasted.

herman cain says you can get two bulbs for $99.99. If you want a dim bulb, call the white house.

It really interests me that the President of the United States can dictate to 300+ million people what type of light bulb we can use.

Can anyone tell me the incremental cost in terms of energy needed to produce one of these “high efficiency” bulbs over say a regular bulb? I mean, what’s the net gain if you expend more energy finding/refining/producing relatively exotic materials for these bulbs only to save a few cents in power? Has anyone really looked at the net gain (or loss) in energy by using these?

Oh, that's never the question asked.

It's "Can we afford to wait?" whined by the greens.
