Fluorescent lamps do give inferior light, but incandescent bulbs are really power-inefficient. There’s just too many better technologies out there to be relying on the tungsten filament.
Now, I don’t think the gov’t should ban it - as the libs like to say, you can’t legislate morality, and forcing people to use a more green bulb isn’t going to make them environmentally conscious. It actually would probably make them less considerate of their own environmental choices, thinking the guvmint will take care of it.
>>>> This ban will be a tax on poor people <<<<
Oh oh you know what that will lead to more of (the gov. already gives vouchers out to go
to Wal-Mart to get CFL’s)
I have a mix over the house. Some places ok but other places the incandescent works better.
When you need full light now or were it’s cold or detailed work bench the list goes on.
Can you see the next crime? .....Felony light bulb possession, Black market bulbs,Lightkeepers (see Fahrenheit 451)
Rush said that CFL will put 50 million tons of mercury into the US environment... not a very clean solution. If you knock over a lamp, do you call a hazmat team?
Not one American company manufactures them. China will build dirty Coal Fired plants at a rate on one per week, to meet the demand of the 4 billion light sockets in America. This boondoggle will cause great harm and cost Billions of dollars!

I know what I’m going to be buying and hoarding in the coming months.....
I HATE dim lighting!
If I turn on a light, it is because I want to SEE something!
If I want “ambience,” I light candles.
Screw those fluorescent bulbs....er...pun intended.
