EPA is trying to remove the tiniest amounts of mercury in the environment, Congress passed a law eliminate the incandescent light bulb and required their replacement by fluorescent lights that contain mercury

Is it surprising that the Environmental Protection Agency continues to tell big fat lies about anything it wants to ban, but is reluctant to show the “science” on which the bans are based?

There is currently a piece of legislation under consideration by Congress, the Secret Science Reform Act, to force the EPA to disclose its scientific and technical information before proposing or finalizing any regulation.

This is what Nicolas Loris of The Heritage Foundation had to say regarding the mercury air and toxics rule that the EPA claims would produce $53 billion to $140 billion in annual health and environmental benefits. “The two studies that represent the scientific foundation for 1997 ozone and PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards are highly questionable and the data concealed, even though the studies were paid for by federal taxpayers and thus should be public property.”

Someone please convince me that the ban on incandescent bulbs was not a scam instituted primarily to allow corrupt pols like barbara boxer to cash in by investing heavily in CFL companies.

Always remember that government advice or regulations are made to put money in some politician’s pocket.

Examples: size of toilet water reservoir and showerhead, new design of light bulbs, wind turbines, solar panels, etc. are making certain politicians rich.

And I am not even talking about insider trading.

Considering the caliber of people comrade obama puts into administrative positions, it won't be long before the EPA starts robbing graves to extract mercury contaminated dental work.*
