If the Eunuchs in the US House had the gonads, they would repeal garbage like the light bulb ban.
South Carolina has already done this - I have a ‘connection’ so’s I get ‘black market’ ;o)
HOWEVER, If you let your power company install the Smart Meter on your house (Check with you area - most cities, states have passed a right to opt out) - but if y ou have the Smart meter - they can capture a signal - an electric signature - that will tell them what appliances you are using...from a hari dryer and how long - too - ???the right kind of light bulb???
Then there’s the radiation exposure - better research that...
How the smart meter can tell what you are using and when - and already ‘smart’ appliances are in the market - they’ll know if you’re using ‘illegal’ lightbulbs - and how long before you’ll be required to switch over to OTHER ‘green’ products/appliances?

Lightbulbs?
Meanwhile the state is overrun with millions of illegal aliens...
Boy, they're tough.
I hate those damn twisty, dim yellow bulbs.
I think they are designed so old people can’t read anything, so they won’t know anything. Just the way Zero likes it - a blind, stupid, uninformed population.
So, for those of us who will be crossing state lines to buy bulbs in TX, would this be a felony?
appears i live in the wrong state. Illinois. stocking up
anyway.
I screwed a compact bulb into a light socket for my basement steps a couple of months ago. It has already burned out. I turn the light on when I go to the basement to do laundry or when I leave through the basement garage. I turn it off when I’m not on the stairs. The useless things can’t take the frequent on/off cycles. They burn out. The box says to use them only where you can leave them turned on for an extended period of time.
My question—how is it saving energy when you have to leave the d—n thing on so it won’t burn out prematurely? An incandescent bulb can be turned off and on and lasts longer than Obama bulbs. Ergo, it saves energy when you can turn it off when you no longer need it. So, what do I use to light my stairs when I can no longer get incandescent bulbs? This country is being run by fools. No doubt about it.
Only one but it takes an entire ER to get it out.

Kick ‘em Rick! And then rub their noses in it with the anti-TSA groping bill.
We be smuggling bulbs to the oppressed peoples of the USSA.
Never imagined I’d be traveling to Texas to buy “bootleg” lightbulbs!
Awesome!
I hate those government light bulbs. Some of the ones in my kitchen take three minutes to warm up and get bright enough to be useful.
Good for Texas!
Walmart has 100 watt bulbs—in the blue box-4 pack for 94 cents—made in USA. They are the first to be banned on 1/1/12—six months from now, unless sanity reigns in DC.
