And bring back REAL light bulbs!!!! ;)
Amen! I submitted this to the SHARE YOUR IDEAS WITH DONALD TRUMP site, as well as to my congressman:
“I realize, considering the massive amount of actions that need to be taken in order to get America back on the right track and “undo” much of the damage wreaked by democrat policies and overzealous regulatory officials over the last few decades, that actions will have to be prioritized. But, why can’t free citizens in the USA buy clothes washing machines that actually fill up with water and actually get clothes clean? Why can’t we purchase incandescent light bulbs over 60 watts if we want to? Why can’t we buy toilets that fill up with water and do not have to be flushed twice? Why can’t we buy plumbing fixtures, such as shower heads, that actually allow a strong stream of water? In my area, the lakes are overflowing and there is no shortage of water, so why should we pretend that there is some crisis, when there is not? Thanks very much for any consideration of these regulations that really do serve no compelling public interest in many parts of the country. If local or state conditions warrant, such states or communities could establish specific requirements, and I am confident manufacturers could and would accommodate their needs.”
And bring back REAL light bulbs!!!! ;)”
Sure hope he does. When they first came up with the ones that look like an ugly white worm we bought two cases of the real ones that we use most frequently. Figure we have enough left to last about three more months.
And REAL toilets, and REAL shower heads.
The "real" light bulb has no future. LED is the future for now and I'm sure something even more energy efficient and cheaper is in the works. My primary residence is pretty much all LED, which greatly lowers my electric bill. The only place I have incandescent is in the closets, which are hardly ever used.
Why, LED run much cooler and last far longer, now CFLs though can go rot.
LED’s are far better than either the incandescent or fluorescent. LED’s last at least 15 years based on current driver module technology which is changing faster than hard drive and memory capacities. The LED’s themselves last far longer. But think of not having to change any bulb or component for 15 years.
The fluorescent thing was just a payoff to some manufacturer who had skin in the pockets of Congress and one of the worst was Mark Kirk who is now gone from power. They knew the LED lighting thing was coming and had to get their pockets filled before the LED tidal wave started.
I do work in the LED industry and it is impossible to keep ahead of product design with all of the advances in component technology constantly rushing at us.
LEDs work well enough indoors, just about anybody likes bulbs that use less electricity.
YES YES YES YES
