If some scientific panel bothered to do the research, they might stand a fair chance of proving what Bachmann says she wants to see proved, though the effect on CO2 would be weaker than naively calculated. A bigger concern is properly recycling these little buggers. They may never break in use even to the point of completely burning out, but hauling a big bag of them to a “designated recycling point” without breaking at least one is a challenge.
“hauling a big bag of them to a “designated recycling point” without breaking at least one is a challenge.”
Oh, aren’t you the worrier! Don’t be concerned. Our leaders will fix that... with heavy fines and jail time if you break one.
There, now don’t you feel better?
