But I happen to like the softness of the incadescent light bulb and really enjoy its warmth? And I love its round shape rather than the goofy spiral shape of the other. Do my preferences not matter to the politicians who are taking away my right to choose? If a woman can have a 'right to choose', which happens to involve the taking of a human life, don't I have the right to choose the light bulb that I want to use?????

I've certainly never had a CFL bulb last 13 times as long as a regular one.

By the way, if this law is passed, I will be glad to sell anyone in California smuggled incandescent bulbs from out of state.

Democrats are not content with decreeing your power consumption. They are on a kick to dictating lighting choice and wattages in your home too. Call it econ-nazism run amok.

Anybody tried a fluorescent bulb in an Easybake oven?

This way, they can generate income because most places charge $$ to "recycle" flourescent bulbs, because they can't just be tossed in the trash.

When I think of kalifornia, I always think of DIM BULBS!

[JCEccles]

We use them in our home. They work fine. But if the legislature tried to force me to use them, I'd probably switch back to incandescent.

those minifluorescent bulbs suck. guess i'll have to stock up on incandescents, just like ammo, hi cap mags, and strike anywhere matches.

My husband just bought a bunch of these newfangled bulbs (honey, they give off the same watts at like 1/8 the energy) and he put one in the lamp on MY nightstand. It gives out no light and I hate it. I told him to leave my lamp alone. I think it's going to come to a battle in my house.

What next, we will have to move to the Little Easy Bake Ovens for all cooking (remember the lightbulb, ladies?)

[dforest]

Thy have already banned having a brain. So a lightbulb is a moot point.

[SeaBiscuit]

So, will California then start issuing light bulb stamps to those who can't afford fluorescent bulbs? /sarc
