But, Dr. Carroll, libs will only sign off on these if you promise not to develop any light bulb that puts out more light than an appliance bulb. They only want to make us ungrateful types go back to a pre-industrial standard of living for our own good!

Won’t be allowed unless he gives GE the patent.

interesting, and to bad he apparently knows nothing about LEDs.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

And this is the fist and last you'll ever hear of them.

Give me the same temp and wattage of an incandescent or go home...

Uniformly, the quality of light from every CFL and LED I’ve tried has sucked. It’s either too cool and antiseptic, or not bright enough period...

Plastic = Oil = Carbon Tax = not affordable.

I bought a Christmas electric blanket with small light bulbs that don’t get hot.

How sweet it is!

See, get gummint out of the role of telling us what kind of light bulbs are best, and something better comes along.

It’s called innovation. Private business does it.

[Politicalmom]

But will they make me sick like LEDs do? :P

Great..how’s *this* going to help my Easy Bake Oven???

[TurboZamboni]

Low cost must not be a selling point since it’s not mentioned in the first or second paragraph?

I’m sure 0bama has Regulations or an EO that will make sure they never see the “Light of Day”
