Jim DeMint is right.

[D-fendr]

IIRC, the new law costs us jobs as well. An Obama Twofer.

[manc]

could have got some balls back then and demand he get back here when he got us into a war on his vacation with the freeloading mother in law and family. Nah they'll put their efforts into lightbulbs and go and do bills to cut NPR which will go no where. What a cowardly useless bunch they are. We're now in an illegal war because congress did not vote, MO and mother in law get another free vacation, Obama tells Brazil we want your oil meaning Soros stands to make billions with Petrobas thus some of that money goes to the election next year and the GOP does light bulbs give me frigging strength

[JudgemAll]

I love my hot wire bulbs in winter. They have a special color and keep rooms warm in winter too.

This piece of crap PC legislation is a domination pimping social exercise against the people.

Why can’t I own infrared or uv lights that I may need, is the weirdest jack booted guilt making and arbitrary criminalization of the citizen yet.

They are provoking sneakily for a fed cop civil war. It’s obvious those government unions are behind this.

[SampleMan]

Although incandescents loose a lot of efficiency by creating heat, this is actually only a factor when the environment they are in isn't being heated. I really doubt that the new bulbs are any more efficient in the winter months, all things considered.

[BunnySlippers]

How about that the new bulbs cost 8 times as much and last about the same as incandescents.

[stars & stripes forever]

Call your Representative NOW. There are too many dim watts in Congress that would pass such legislation.

Save the light bulb...for the children.

[Domandred]

I’ve started stockpiling. Every time I go to the grocery store for anything I drop a buck for 4 Edison bulbs.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I love incandescent bulbs. Why are the libs always trying to ruin everything?

[Gator113]

We may buy more, but so far we managed to hoard 100, 100-watt incandescent light bulbs.

We need them to keep the chicken house from freezing, same with the pump-house. I leave one on in my boat during the winter and the garage stall where I keep my Harley.

Screw this nanny government.

[sickoflibs]

RE :”Is the traditional 100-watt incandescent light bulb about to go the way of the Tyrannosaurus Rex? Some Republicans on Capitol Hill hope not. They want to overturn the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, signed by then-President George W. Bush. The law requires all 100-watt incandescent light bulbs to be almost 30-percent more energy efficient by Jan. 1, 2012. Since that means higher production costs, manufacturers in America have stopped making the traditional bulbs. Some consumers have already started stockpiling the old-model bulbs, complaining that the replacements cast a unattractive light compared to the warmth of incandescent bulbs.’

I am stocking up with real light bulbs now and yes: this stupid energy bill GWB signed. This is a reminder of what a RINO president will do with a Democrat liberal Reid/Pelosi congress. This and ethanol mandates that Bush signed make me livid. What hope did we have in this situation? Who do you protest?

[bimboeruption]

Just another infringement on our rights that we can thank that “Conservative” bush2 for.

[Norm Lenhart]

A blessing in disguise. But we have to let our fearless leaders know.

Dear delusional Democrat,

I am writing to let you know that since (insert product here – In this case 100 watt light bulbs) has/have become the bane of your existence, I will need to replace it with two of your new XX watt replacements to get the same amount of light. I refuse to do with less. Since the resulting total power consumption is greater than that of the single 100 watt bulb (and note I will have to repeat this process for each 100 watt bulb I must replace in my home and garage) and since you can multiply this result by 50 million families like mine, you will soon be faced with your own Democrat voters screaming at you due to an overloaded power grid and extended rolling blackouts (at best).

Since you will no doubt continue to block every avenue that America has to cheap, abundant power due to your headlong rush into Soviet mimicry, we conservative types won’t even have to lift a finger as your own base ejects you from your current (no pun intended) seats once the blackouts start disrupting their lives. They elect representatives who will take an ‘all of the above’ approach to energy.

Simple really.

Ah...to dream.

[Graybeard58]

How are little girls to bake cookies in their Mattel ovens? I seem to remember that the heat came from light bulbs.

[PGalt]

HOORAY! Grow a backbone you spineless, totalitarian-wannabe RINOS.

[arfingcat]

Light bulbs, toilets and washing machines. The laws of physics don’t apply in this country.

[hadaclueonce]

Only Americans will allow food, corn, to be burned for fuel.
That fuel causes a drop in miles per gallon of 15%.

Burning of corn mixture causes corn prices to go above $7 a bushel raising the price of food for the Middle East. That is what caused the unrest and riots. That is what is causing gasoline prices to spike.

With all that, our elected RINO’s are worried about what kind of light bulb we can buy.

Americans, we have stupid on our forehead.

[Dogbert41]

Maybe they can work on that DDT thingy as well. Talk about politicians following bad science and causing harm...

[stars & stripes forever]

I think light bulbs are not only dangerous, but they are butt ugly. My neighbor put blue spiral bulbs in their outdoor lights for Christmas...

They do not go with traditional furniture.

They fade picture that are hung on the wall.

Flourescent lighting cause psychological problems and epilepsy in children in schools.

[Finalapproach29er]

Amen!

Someone has finally awakened to the impending stupidity.
Repeal this foolish law.

[dforest]

Try? That is not good enough. Just do it.
