I’m replacing incandescent light bulbs in my house with LED bulbs as the old ones burn out. Yes, the LED bulbs are expensive now, but wait a little while and you’ll see the price come down probably pretty fast. I bought several at Home Depot (the warm light, not the cool light) and I like them just fine.
OK, I understand the logic in LED light bulbs. But the supply is simply not there yet.
Now, I think the real cause for this is like the nonsense about Freon. Patent had expired, companies bought the legislatures, redesigned freon, companies made more money.
This is no different. The light bulb manufacturers like GE are political scammers. The politicians are bought whores. Some of them did not realize what they were voting for, but most did.
