The Chinese will be happy to help us. They are the ones making the energy saving ones.

Since they are still producing 60# and 74# I’m sure one of them can put in a line for 100#.I’d even bet one of the closed factories may start calling worers back to work....hey look Obama really may create a real job that didn’t cost us $178,000!

GE closed down the last one due to the switch to squigglies. Hopefully new plants will open on US soil

We know which one won’t, GE. They are too invested in the green movement.

GE and Sylvania, the largest manufacturers of light bulbs were behind the legislation.

Their bottom line is improved if people are forced into buying a newer and more expensive bulb.

They are so dishonest that they are now manufacturing bulbs that are only 5 watts below the new mandate.

Want a 100 watt bulb?

Well today is your lucky day. We can’t give you a 100 watt bulb but you can have a 95 watt bulb and you really won’t know the difference.... sort of.

Oh! And we make them with “bright technology” if you want ones that shine brighter.

They are only twice as much but you love the brightness.

Like Buttuh!
