Your lightbulbs are all well and good. But this is still a big issue, since the rest of the industrialized world is paying a lot of attention to these issues. Has the responsibility for energy issues been assigned elsewhere?

Republicans have disbanded the one committee devoted solely to climate change and energy issues.

They get my commendation. Now bring back incandescent bulbs.

This is like killing one cockroach in a sewage treatment plant.

But...

There is one less cockroach in the world.

Congressman Webster (R) (Grayson (D) Replacement) is being placed on Rules Committee and the Judiciary while my Congresswoman Sandy Adams (R) (Kosmas (D) Replacement) is being place on the Science and Technology and Space Committee as well as the Judiciary.

Hopefully they can help clean up all that muck as well!
