“Our founding fathers an’ our liberty-loving forbears would never have stood for such widespread govt intrusion into the lives and choices of individual American citizens…”
I want pajamas that are flammable. Who gave the government the right to make that illegal? Ding-dang nannies…..
Please get over this; it’s such a small part of the way of the world. Incandescents are woefully inefficient, create great amounts of heat, cost way more in terms of energy expended, and therefore contribute to needless pollution by the energy companies who have to provide more energy for the same light, and cooling for large spaces full of bulbs.
“It’s for your own good” applies here. Government is not totally wrong 100% of the time.
I want a CRT tv, who took all the CRT tv’s? *Is this a government plot aginst CRT tv watchers?*Did the government ban CRT tv’s?*All I can find are thin lite low energy using lcd, led and plasma tv’s.*It has to be a government plot!!!!!*
The argument isn’t about energy efficiency. It is about whether the government should be FORCING you to be energy efficient. I personally would prefer the market decide that rather than the government. After all, it’s your money to spend how you like to. If you don’t mind spending lots of cash on energy like Al Gore does then so be it. On the other hand, if you prefer to save money and use less energy that’s fine too. You not the government should decide that.
Yeah, right, trust the guys who control market, and eat up that $4+ per gallon gas they sell you every summer, and increase your heating oil in winter, nope, the cartels have no ability to “adjust” markets at all!! HAR!
you r demented. Many people are respectful of the previous technologies that have gotten us to where we are now. How many want to go back to using it on a continuing basis. Do you want to go back to using an Atanasoff-Berry Computer.
