One gallon is not enough. It is silly having to stand in the bathroom waiting for the toilet to fill again so that I can finish with a second flush. You can bet that I curse the EPA and the bureaucrats every time.
Obamacare first. The move as many departments as possible out of D.C. Move them to a blue state like Illinois. Virginia then stays red.
And return this country to we the people!
I am still amazed at how quickly President Trump is moving on things. After the way the media kept saying he was never going to do anything, this has just been amazing.
Best part is they (Prez Trump people) are doing the 'distract the opponent with sound' thing. Throwing out crowd size and keeping the media and DC hacks obsessed with it.
Meanwhile, these executive orders are just spot on. They are doing SO much to bring this country back. Thank God.
Why would you want to do that with the advent of the LED? The CFL’s were not really worthy of consideration because of their ability to contaminate with mercury when broken. And now you can even get fluorescent tube replacements that are LED-based. LED’s now come in multiple color temperatures, are dimmable, and are even more energy efficient than CFLs. Now, a 75watt R-30 or R-40 LED bulb consumes about 11 watts and it lasts for 25,000 hours! The incandescent bulb now has a worthy replacement. We've re-lamped both our homes with LEDs and the reduction in energy use is noticeable.
“We should have a solution other than “move somewhere else”. I was here first, darn it !”
We are with you! We were also here first (we were born here, we didn’t sneak in) and now in our mid-70’s we are not going to move away. If the EPA is left to the states, we will be in for a rough ride here unless the Feds put some serious restrictions on the states. Personally, I’d like to see a very small, very restricted Federal EPA stick around to ride heard on states like CA.
Kill it. Drive a stake through its evil heart.
The EPA is an agency that is at war with the American people.
HUD is another
Makers of toilets have done really positive things with small-tank toilets. I went in to the store asking for a toilet that could flush a basketball shoe, and they sold me one that almost could. We don’t need the epa to reg this though.
You could send your extras to me POF. Wait.. i
might expire ahead of the bulb cache too. Lol
For those of you still looking for them, you can still buy incandescent bulbs at Walmart and have seen them at dollar stores too.
We had to buy a new one 2 years ago. Wish we could get the money back and purchase a toilet that actually has a decent enough flush to clean away what it’s supposed to!
“I worry that some state like CA are already more intrusive and restrictive than the EPA. Not only should we eliminate the EPA, but the Congress or SCOTUS needs to protect the citizens of states from their local government tyranny.”
You and your neighbors have to reign in CA. That is the whole point of limited federal .gov. You can’t say fed is too intrusive when you don’t like what they say and invite intrusion when you favor what they say.
The federal .gov has no business telling any state what to do or not to do that is not expressly delegated in the founding document.
Am fortunate enough to have seriously stocked up on incandescent bulbs 2-years before lights out...Have, at least, 10-years worth left without rationing..
We went full tilt LED, and our power bill is half what it was. No one forced me.
“We went full tilt LED, and our power bill is half what it was. No one forced me.”
The other thing we did was put in NEST “learning” thermostats, smoke/CO Detectors and a front door camera. They are all “internet connected,” so you can go to an app on your smart phone and see that your place isn’t on fire, what temperature the thermostat is set at, and a view of your front porch. And if anyone comes to your door, you get an alert on your phone with a video clip of who’s there. The thermostats “sense” that you aren’t home and lower temp (in winter, raise it in summer), and if you are on your way home, you can adjust the temp before you get there. With the smart thermostats we’ve been saving on our utilities. You can even keep your iPhone next to the bed and change the temp in the middle of the night without having to get up!
See my other comment. my husband has a medical condition where he gets migraines with LEDs or florescent (yes even the new ones). He is basically disabled with them. We CANNOT USE THEM AT ALL!!!
I’ve got a lot of 100W bulbs, but I find I don’t use them as much as the 45/60, and they are running perilously low. Shouldn’t matter. End the ban, bring them back, and I don’t have to hoard a damn legal product because of some nanny state puke with a hot niece.
Time to put EPA's ammo, if any, up for sale.
The same for the IRS and .......
Lol..same here. Very happy about it.
One of our nation’s crony capitalists’ finest moments.
This was driven by GE. Seems incandescent bulbs weren’t profitable enough for GE.
GE’s Immelt is a dyed in the wool fascist.
President Trump needs to tread lightly dealing with people of such low caliber as Immelt.
Fact!
