Incandescent Light Bulb Ban Pushed Back
The enviomentalists are just shills for Al Gore's millions. These light
bulbs dont even last as long as regular bulbs and cost $25. "All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk." Ronald Reagan "Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources." Ronald Reagan On top of that you have other natural emissions. Forest fires, most from lightening, volcanic activity both above and below ground and oceans around the world, natural disasters,(earth quakes kick up poisons) and dust from space, and meteors and more. So what do they want you to do? Go out and buy Omamma contributer GE produced mercury laced light bulbs. destroy "clunkers" and buy goverment produced cars. Legalized robbery. it's a massive redistribution of wealth. "Robin Sisler" wrote in message ... This is great news!

"Robin Sisler" and "CoolBreeze" wrote a bunch of drival.
And what about our coinage? Does anyone else remember irradiated dimes? It was horrible! Those poor dimes were subjected to intense radiation, then released into circulation! Oh, the humanity! Jerry |

If they were bombarded with neutrons, releasing them into circulation without testing them first would be very irresponsible. -- Please reply to: | "Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is pciszek at panix dot com | indistinguishable from malice."

You need to find a better store; I pay a fraction of that, and I haven't had to replace any since I switched the current apartment over. (Before that, I was replacing incandescents pretty frequently.) "Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources." Ronald Reagan Are you actually quoting that non-ironically? -- "Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither." |

Incandescent Light Bulb Ban Pushed Back
Just seems unbelievable that such a ban would be accepted by the public... I
am amazed that a groundswell of outrage did not simply cause this to die long ago. "Paul Ciszek" wrote in message ...

@speranza.aioe.org: This is great news! More time to hoard! http://www.ecogeek.org/component/content/article/3663 http://www.facebook.com/Numismatist The incandescent light bulb ban is one more example of governmental arrogance. Consumers should have the choice as what kind of light bulbs they can use. |

Unfortunately, the last facility manufacturing these bulbs ceased operating last year in anticipation of the coming ban. Hopefully they can get "back up and running" if it is not cost prohibitive. Yes, once again, the idiots in Washington, D.C., with the help of their environmental terrorist group, the E.P.A. has made us less free. I'll stop now before I go on a REALLY long rant about the state of leadership in this country |

I may have gotten one, but if I did it's gotten lost somewhere along the way. I don't recall that the extremely short half-life was explained. Most potential customers might have just walked away if they had known that the "specialness" of their coin would be virtually gone in the next few minutes. |
