In addition to raising auto fuel efficiency standards 40 percent, an energy bill passed by Congress yesterday bans the incandescent light bulb by 2014.
President Bush signed the 822-page measure into law today after it was sent up Pennsylvania Avenue in a Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle. The House passed the bill by a 314-100 vote after approval by the Senate last week.

Well tell all the illegals that they can get a fast track to citizenship if they bring 100 light bulbs with them when they cross the border. Then we tell the light brigade and they slap the cuffs on em
We are still importing freon on the black market even though it was banned 20 years ago.

No too many Moody Blues evenings
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

There are any number of ways your blue receptors can be disrupted ~ one is to use Viagra.
Old age can slow them down as well.
A test ~ mark a white sheet of paper with a yellow pen. Turn out the lights. Turn on a bulb that emits only blue light.
See the yellow markings? If not you may be blue blind.

Some non-profit green group gave every house in my small town, an 8 pack of the coil shaped flourescents some months back. I had allready been using some of them.
I find them very annoying. They start out dim and slowly get up to power. They don’t look well in lamps. They give off a creepy light. What a bunch of idiots we have in congress.

I have two on my front porch. The bugs don’t seem to be drawn to them as much as incandescents.
