These CFLs are a freaking joke! You can’t even throw them in the trash they’re so damn toxic! Who are the MORONS that thought this was a good idea??!??!

Upton coauthored the bill and now has changed his mind being he wants to chair the Energy Committee. Repeal the bill and deny him the seat.

The quality of light they put out is pure crap.
OK in commercial settings,but who wants the inside of their house to look like a display case in the frozen food section of the supermarket?
They are also not dimmable, unless you spend about $14 dollars a bulb!

I only use CFLs. I buy good ones, not cheap knock-offs, and have since 1998. I'm happy with them for most uses.
But if I want to use an arc lamp to read by, and can afford the electricity, it's nobody's damn business what I buy/use.
And congress still doesn't have the authority to change that under the Constitution.

I don’t mind the curly bulbs, they have their place.
That said, I WANT A CHOICE, NOT A MANDATE

That and the low volume toilet. In my house, each additional water-wasting flush required to sufficiently clear the bowl, is named for a member of the idiot Gore clan of Green Thieves:
#2 is the AlFlush (remnants of Al still clearly visible in the bowl).
#3 is the TipperFlush.
..and so on.
Each Flush

GE did, GE makes a bunch of them.
So instead of making a light bulb they can sell for 97 cents, they make CFLs which they can sell for $5.99

The new toilets failed to account for the fact that some men are built such that their needs are neglected.

CONGRESS SHOULD NOT BE WORKING WITH ANYONE(!!!) TO PUSH ANYTHING ON CONSUMERS!!!!
Why is it that Congress and Government just cannot see that THIS is the problem! We do NOT need them to tell us what to do! The jerks.

Let the market place decide. The government did not have to outlaw the buggy whip.

The government says incandescent bulbs have too short a life span and are inefficient, wasting most of their energy on heat rather than on light. 9 months out of the year the heat produced by incandescents is not wasted, but contributes to the heating of the home. The money and energy saved is wasted by raising your fuel oil and gas bills.
