The new Republicans need to remember who gave them their new majority. We don’t want the government telling us what kind of light bulbs we must use just like we don’t want it telling us what doctors we can use. Period.

Last year, after George Will wrote a column criticizing Upton's and Harman's proposal to extend the incandescent-bulb ban to outdoor lighting, the two House members sent a letter to the Washington Post complaining about the column and defending their legislative campaign against the incandescent bulb. The CFC's do not work well in cold weather. Heck I have a lamp that the A/C blows on and you can watch the light physically dim when the cool air hits the bulb and when the A/C turns off the bulb slowly brightens. Anoying if you are reading by the lamp!

The irony of Fred Upton's name is palpable, especially if he's related to
this Upton.
I once did some contract technical work for an electrical appliance company whose development center was on Upton Drive. I've always wondered if it was named after the Upton mentioned in the link above.

You can still get Sylvania reg bulbs but you better buy them now.
