I’m not surprised RATS are baning bulbs but just when was this law passed and how?
This law pisses me off as much as anything. It is emblematic of how the govt wants to control every aspect of how we live, and how the govt is not willing to allow the free market to operate normally, and allow consumers to select the bulb of THEIR CHOICE.
But being relatively open-minded, even in this age of the obamanation, I decided to buy a couple of the new squiggly bulbs and put them in the fixture in my kitchen for a test run.
Guess what? They suck! they are clearly inferior to what we are accustomed to.
And to answer your question of how this law was passed, it is my understanding that the bill was signed into law by george bush, the very same potus who gave us the first bailout- who went against free market prinicples to save the free market.
What a bunch of small-minded jerks we have had in DC.
