I don't know how "final" this is but at least its a serious effort.

DOE has said the standards could save consumers $6 billion a year.

Heck, if I could save even $2 or $3 billion a year it would be worthwhile for me to change...

I’ll bet the Dems and Obama will pass it, they will see that it’s a spending bill and won’t even read it.

Well this is one small win for us, but the eye is on the prize, a solid debt ceiling.

It is a good first step. The whole progam was stupid to begin with.

It looks like I may not have to start buying real light bulbs on the black market after all.

My husband has a medical condition (so does his sister) that prevents us from using any florescent or LED lights.

Dang! Now I have to figure out what to do with 1,933 of these evil 40-to-100 watt things that I accumulated over the past few years...

Good news! Keeping their feet to the fire!

I use the squiggly ones, but it's MY choice. They are cooler to use in the house on a hot summer Texas day!

MY choice!

Only the government would force people to purchase light bulbs with poisonous material in them.

This is great! I’ve been stockpiling incandescents for two years, thinking they’d be unavailable starting next year. I can’t believe the Republicans worked this around the Democrat Nazis!

Libs really aren’t about “choice”.

I think people ought ot be able to choose what kinds of bulbs are in their houses. My personal preference is I like lights that don’t generate a lot of heat and use as little energy as possible while having the longest possible lifespan as they can. But I have a bunch of different choices in bulbs to pick from. And if I want an inexpensive regular old bulb because I need a temporary replacement, I want to be able to get one, to

“in a 2007 energy bill signed by President George W. Bush.”

ROTFLMAO! Another gift from Dubya. I wonder how this was explained away on the Daily Dose threads?

Democrats and the White House have opposed the move to block the standards, which were included in a 2007 energy bill signed by President George W. Bush.

Well at least this is something that really can be blamed on Bush.

....included in a 2007 energy bill signed by President George W. Bush.

Dumber than dirt, pandering, capitulating dumb ass GW Bush strikes again. Fortunately we had enough Tea Party winners in 2010 to hopefully negate & overturn some of the socialist gubmint fiascos like this.

Outside of 0dumb0 & Carter, GW Bush is in a tight 3-way race for the most damage inflicted on America by their socialist big gubmint, globalist policies. IMO, GW Bush could have gone down as one of our greatest presidents, if only he had the intelligence to govern as a conservative and not as a demoRAT or uzzzlim, or pandering & appeasing to demoRATs & uzzlims.

None of their stinkin' business how I should "save" my money. And, they are liars. They make these numbers out of whole cloth.

What else do they have the right to tell me to buy because *they* decide how I should spend MY money?

This light bulb business is not at all minor. It is a steep part of the slippery slope of total despotism.

THis is good news for those strange Americans who actually like to SEE what they’re doing.
I knew this thing was dead in the water right from the beginning. The CFLs are inferior in every regard.
Sorry, GE. Pick up your marbles and go home, your Agenda doesn’t hack it, and neither does Obama’s.
