The micro- pissants trying to attack my sugar in my kitchen laugh at it.Pissant got zotted.
oh... nevermind...
“The law does not ban incandescent bulbs.”
Yeah right. Try finding one to buy once the law goes into effect.
Get Obama and all democrat commiecrats out!
Yeah he was zotted because he was not a Palinista and I think he had a Bachmann ping list. Was he zotted with lemony crap or DEET?
Know what works on those little ants? 409 spray. Kills those little bastards dead and they don’t come back.
I was on the thread that day. That was not the reason. Not by a long shot.
Throw out the law mandating low-flush toilets as well.
Bought some 100 watt bulbs from a company through Amazon only to have the order cancelled. They won’t sell to Californians. I had to order the bulbs from an out of state company. They shipped them. Soon we’ll be ordering them from out of the country! Really? What a bunch of nuts we keep voting into office in this country...
The manufacturing costs for these things must be 10 times the cost of an incandescent, and what about the disposal and environmental ‘costs’ of MERCURY in each and every one?
The toxic cleanup from one broken ‘new’ bulbs is 1000 times the energy of a regular bulb.
All the libs need to do is get a rider attached that bans corn subsidies. Then she’ll change her tune.
That's odd - the 100-watt incandescent outdoor floodlight bulbs have already been phased-out. I don't see any "100-watt equivalent" incandescents of that bulb type on the shelves.
“However, new legislation may not change what manufacturers are doing in creating more efficient bulbs that use halogen, LED or other new technology.”
So what? LEDs are better but the market should decide that, not the government.
Thanks.
One teaspoon of Savogran TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) located in the Paint Dept of Home Depot, added to Cascade or Tide per load puts the phosphates right back. I’ve been using it and it’s just like the old days! The dishwasher cleans dishes again and stopped smelling—no pre-washing other than large food chunks. Clothes come out cleaner.
I didn’t know that. Thanks!
One word--Talstar. I found it on eBay. It's banned in a bunch of lib states so I figured it must be good. It got rid of my ants and according to the studies I found on it (the active chemical is bifenthrin), it has a long residual life, stays in place indoors and out, and is very safe for mammals when used as directed. However, it's very toxic to aquatic life so be careful around ponds or streams.
they’ll still be making old-school lightbulbs for years to come for the 90% of countries that either can’t afford “green” lighting or were not stupid enough to pass this mandate.
“a patchwork of inconsistent standards across the nation that would mean increased manufacturing and distribution costs, higher prices for consumers and lost sales for retailers.”
Which is why they all head straight for D.C. It’s one-stop shopping for all of their influence peddling.
“Manufacturers have already moved down the road”
“They’ll move back. “
Maybe, maybe not. CFls and LEDs have advantages, but the old fashioned light is cheap and effective for many uses.
What is certain is that Government dictation of this is destructive and dumb.
