“if you break it, get some thick gloves on, those things have some mercury in there and theres a debate going on that they are in fact quite harmful if broken.”
You see, they’ve once again created a crisis (where there was none) which the left will feel the need to “solve.”
Coming soon (already in the works ?):
- a company which is owned by someone with vast political connections will be chosen to handle the govt contract (algore)
- the bulbs and disposal will be outrageously high, so there will be a “fee” imposed on the “wealthiest 2%” (aka the middle class) which will go to pay for the poor folks’ share
- before long there will be an outcry that we cannot be dumping hazardous bulbs in the US and another “fee” will be imposed in order to ship the bulbs to a third world country
- and of course there will be an outcry over that, so Americans will be told they are responsible for using 99% of the bulbs with the hazardous disposal risks and should therefore pay the UN more $$$ “to be used for poor countries” that are bearing the brunt of the hazardous waste created by America’s greediness
- Republicans, including Dick Cheney, will purchase stock in the company and will be lambasted for getting rich on the backs of the poor and unfortunate...
I believe this is pretty close to the plan.
I can only hope that the white LED lights become commercially viable before our ban goes into place.
I love CFLs for their uses, but there are places where you need something better.
they are doing that demographically though, so nevermind.
He might have an idea, but there wouldn't be anything over his head.
In another twenty years’ time, they’ll be saying “goodbye” to electricity.
And the newer bulbs are free. ;)
New halogen lamps supposedly burn cooler but mine dates back to 1983; it’s the Artemide Tizio (you’ve probably seen them in the make-up section of department stores because they provide a very bright white light). It also augmented my camera’s flash attachment when I took photos of a former girlfriend.
