Austin American Statesman uncomfortable with this anti-global warming governor and his "failure to acknowledge the problem."

It's a fun read.

People miss the point with this whole discussion. Essentially there is no viable replacement for the incandescent bulb. The CFL bulbs being forced upon us are a serious environmental hazard. This has been stated by the EPA. They are more of a concern than the coal plants the EPA is shutting down.

The problem is that GE produces the new bulbs in China, at great profit, and Obama wants to shut down coal to support GE’s Green companies. It is all politics.

Once the incandescent bulbs are gone Congress will probably require a large deposit on the new bulbs to assure they are disposed of properly. I wonder if GE will handle disposal also.
