I am Pro-Choice concerning LIGHTBULBS! I am a free, independant, american woman, who can buy and choose whatever light bulb I want. Congress is usurping their authority. So what else is new?

Haha! If they try to enforce it, I hope the American people will speak up and put a stop to it. It’s so ridiculous it makes me laugh. I hate those CLF lightbulbs; they take so long just to turn on. They also produce an ugly white instead of yellow glow and often produce a buzzing noise, emit UV rays, and contain mercury. In my opinion the 25% or so savings in power is not worth the several downsides. They’re only practical in industrial and some, but not all, commercial settings.

look ahead here too guys. Like the congressman said, these CFL contains mercury. Now there will be lots of broken bulbs by mere human error, and un proper disposal due to uninformed ignorance, and so our water supply will go into a red alert of toxicity after about 8-10 years. And by this time, he who controls the clean water supply will be king. Water will be worth more than money pretty soon.

Fark, yep, here in Oz we have all accepted ‘what they say’ and dutifully gone ahead and changed to the greener bulb – some people even replacing their perfectly fine incandescent bulbs for immediate power saving. Had no idea about their toxicity. What the hell??

And the amount of Mercury in a CFL is highly highly unlikely to cause harm to a person. If all of the mercury in a CFL vaporized and the you inhaled all of it it is still not likely to cause you harm. It is only if you break a bunch of CFL’s that you really have to worry.

Hey, c’mon! CFL’s are deadly toxic! Last year I dropped & broke one – every living thing within an 18 mile radius of my house died. In fact, I died from it after 30 hours of excruciating pain!
To think these things are not dangerous is almost as crazy as thinking we could have a president who would spend 150 million of taxpayer money just to keep his records private so there is no proof he was legitimately born in the US!
oops…
Once again a liberal congress tries to grab power!

LED bulbs are vastly superior to Incandescent or CFL’s

Yea I agree!!! LED’s are the way to go and use milli amps to power. I have them at my home and they also come in many colors if needed they also have a life span 10 times longer then any CFL.
