My home is a combination of Fluoroscent and Incandescent lighting (I’d say 75% incandescent and 25% Fluorescent).
I don’t intend to leave this place for the next 7 to 8 years and 2014 will be upon us soon.
Has anybody done and estimation on HOW MUCH IT WILL COST to the average family to replace ALL Incandescent lighting with CFL lighting ?
Also, how are the Feds going to ensure total compliance? Are they going to hire people who will go from house to house and then start fining those who don’t comply ?
What if you are on a budget and don’t have the money to rewire your house ?
HAS ANYBODY ACTUALLY EVEN ASKED THESE QUESTIONS ?
Do you realize that most of you are going to be considered law breakers in 4 years?
This stupid law was passed in 2007 ( Bush was president then ).... HOW COULD HE EVEN SIGN THIS INTO LAW ?

Did the Democrat majority of that period send him a bill that was packed with so much stuff it slipped by, or did he know he was signing this into law? If the latter is the case, surely he didn’t think this through and didn’t know how much mercury the bulbs contain.
You'll need an inspection and a permit in order to sell a house. Yes, they WILL "hire" people to inspect your house, but, not only will you pay to bring it up to "code", you'll pay for the inspection and re-inspection in order to be able to sell it.
