How Do You Get Conservatives to Buy Energy Efficient Products?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Make them cheap and effective.

Right now all energy efficient products are bascially fetishes. They look cool, signify high status among liberals, and do not really do the job because they sacrifice performance, reliability and quality. They are also too expensive.

However when the economy fails due to these fetishes, we conservatives will be riding horses while liberals are left in the dirt pulsing their electric cars into rust.

Make them better than the products they are replacing and more useful.
If you can't do that, then don't make them at all.

You GET

But to GET a Conservative to BUY ...

How do you fight an idea?
With another idea"

"Make them cheap and effective."

There you go again. You are supposed to go with your feelings and not common sense, which, unfortunately, isn't all that common.

And by making them SAFE. Having a mercury-filled CFL break by your toddlers kinda obviates any supposed benefits.
