DOE has said the standards could save consumers $6 billion a year.

As a consumer, I'll decide if I want to save MY share of $6 billion a year all on my own you tyrant bass turds!

Eliminate the DOE. Fire all Federal parasites that work at the DOE. How much would that save? These un-Constitutional Departments and their parasite employees deserve to suffer.

The pain and suffering brought on by government at all levels is destroying our Republic and crushing the spirit of hard working Americans. It's about time the government class (i.e. parasites) have the stress of unemployment thrown into their laps.

The richest counties in America are around D.C. They are rich not because they earned it. Quite the contrary. They are rich because they pass laws to STEAL from the rest of the citizenry.

To add insult, the government class does not stop at stealing, no. They take joy in creating endless rules and regulations to control every aspect of our lives. You see, they are smarter and better than "regular" Americans.

I pray this insanity will start to end, starting January 21, 2013.

There's no $6 billion to save. Never was. The EPA/Energy estimate was based on the idea that every light in a home was 100 Watt and burned 24/7.

Of course that idea is garbage.

I think the person who did the analysis for the agencies should be identified and rendered up for a thorough caning in the Well of the House!

You've got that right! I prefer the old bulbs. Those new bulbs suck, and if they think I'm going to dispose them anywhere other than in a garbage bag with the rest of the trash, they can think again.
