My dad built a root cellar. Doubles as a bomb shelter.

Smuggling isn’t really an option. They’ll stop manufacturing most filament light bulbs in 2012.

I predict that in a short time the last thing that those in CA will be concerned about is light bulbs. The state is financially floundering, taking on water and she's going down.

It was established on a similar thread that incandescent bulbs have essentially unlimited storage life if kept in a dry location to prevent corrosion of the base. So if you’ve got the room for storage, you’re good to go.
To: SmithL
I just replaced my fourth “long life” mercury laden bulb in my chandalier over the table. They just stop working. You can tap them for a while to get them to come back on, but soon they peter out.
It’s the environmental-industrial-government complex, not the military industrial complex, Ike.

Yes, CA is run by the _____ idiots, just like you described.
They’re absolutely clueless, just like the _____ idiots that continue to reelect the same ______ idiots.

California is already the nation's leader in energy efficiency standards.

They’re not halogen as far as I know. Those twisty bulbs are toxic. They are the ones we must use.
Still, I’m hoarding.

GE was behind the push to ban them. Who makes half the bulbs you see on the shelf?
