I’m worried, too, about opportunity costs. Did Congress pin its hopes on a technology not ready for prime time and by pushing a choice without market support, impede development of a better solution? With LED technology rapidly advancing, did Congress in their quest to “do something” give us a short-term solution with long-term consequences? Perhaps in 20 years when municipalities are bankrupted by landfill cleanup operations, people will wish “oh, if only Congress waited just a little while longer.”

(I tried to explain that I meant it as a compliment, but that only appears to have made things worse.)

I have been thinking the same thing. Great point.
