I switched from conventional bulbs to CFL bulbs and saw my energy bill drop 20% the first full month of use from the exact same month last year with nearly identical weather conditions. Needless to say I’m rather happy with the purchase.

That's great and the government didn't even tell you that you had to do it.

My rat party run state government has recently told us that a CO2 detector is mandatory in every home. I already had 2 of them.

I'm waiting for state inspections to make sure everyone is in compliance.

I don’t think the government has any business getting involved in it but a lot of people on FR are really anti CFLs period for no good reason. Cutting back 10% on energy used of Americans immediately would drastically cut back on energy prices and send less $$ overseas. I am encouraging the switch but do not advocate using the gov’t to do it.

A CO2 detector? Is that so we can all monitor the .038% of that atmosphere that is CO2 for out-of-control increases that endanger us all? I knew Rat gov’t was out of control, but that is ridiculous.

A CO detector, on the other hand, makes a lot of sense, especially if you have a gas appliance in the house.

What's the problem with CO2? Am I missing something? I have a carbon monoxide detector, recently installed, and I did see the CO2 detectors for sale, but I'm not sure why I need one.
