The enviomentalists are just shills for Al Gore's millions. These light
bulbs dont even last as long as regular bulbs and cost $25.

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

The U.S. incandescent light bulb factories were simply disassembled,
put on railroad trains, moved to and reassembled in Mexico. The
regular 100 Watt light bulbs still sold at Lowes today are all labeled
"Mexico".

The CFL bulbs are made in China and they hurt my eyes. Also the CFLs are
way more dangerous to the environment than incandescents. People are not
properly disposing of these CFLs. Landfills will be filled with mercury.
President OBongo has no right to tell me what kind of light bulb to use.

It's ok for GE to ship all their production over to China and pay no taxes,
such that Jeff Immelt is made the jobs czar by the administration as reward
for his unwaivering support.

I keep wondering what it's going to take to get people in this country to
boot them all out and start with a new batch of politicians.

The Incandescent Light Bulb Ban is just another example of the decline of
America. Letting a group of monkeys tell everyone what they must do.

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.)

Just don't break one unless you are fond of mercury.
That's just great ain't it? CFLs may end up in dumps and landfills
depositing mercury into the soil but at least it will save you a few
bucks each month and make you feel great about saving the environment
yes? Well, at least until the mercury from the spent CFLs finally
soaks down into the ground water.


"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?

Far more mercury is released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil
fuels to provide the
wasted electricity that standard bulbs use, which convert 90% of the energy
into heat.

I've tried 3 CFL bulbs. Here were my results:



a.. 2 years ago - My circuit breaker blew as soon as I turned the lamp on. I
reset the breaker, plugged in a 100w bulb, and ignored CFLs for almost 2
years.

a.. 6 months ago - Decided to try CFLs again so I bought one and plugged it
into a newer lamp. Nothing blew up, but the bulb died inside a week. Chinese
quality control and I was out $5 bucks for 1 bulb.

a.. 2 months ago - Well the ban didn't go away like I was hoping so I tried
again. Dropped the damn thing while putting it into a chandelier. It broke.
I called the CDC and they said to evacuate my house until a team arrived.

Libtards has chased all manufacturing out of the country to their own
dismay. I forbid any of those "obama bulbs" in my house! I will stockpile
Incandescents if this goes any further. I'd like to see them hatch chickens
under those Dim and Twisted obama Bulbs. LibsFIB!

RON PAUL 2012!!!!

Efficient or not, it is insanely horrifying that liberal dummycrats think
goverment can make a law that is a better decision than people's OWN
decision. It’s the position that they are the parent and you the child and
these knot-heads are our employees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those who don‘t
understand that here’s another way of saying it; Obongo and the dummycrats
arent good enough to clean the toilets of the rest of us, much less make
decisions!!!!!

OSHA, the FDA and the EPA set maximum safe levels of mercury exposure at
thresholds thousands of times less than this amount of mercury contained
in a CFL bulb. An example is for air 0.05 milligram per cubic meter
(roughly a cubic yard) is the maximum limit. A CFL bulb contains 1.0
milligram of mercury which, when exposed to air, far exceeds this
"safe" limit.

A pregnant mother drops and breaks a CFL bulb. She is instantly exposed
to a dose of mercury hundreds of times beyond a level considered safe.
She inhales and her baby in her belly is also exposed. Mercury exposure
to a fetus is devastating. Mercury both destroys and inhibits growth of
a nervous system in an unborn baby, specifically a spinal cord and a
brain. Chances of her baby surviving this exposure are very low. By some
miracle her baby survives, her baby will be born, essentially, brain
dead.

CFL bulbs are extremely dangerous to all people and extremely more
dangerous to developing babies in a mother's belly. Making this more
insidious is autism is directly linked to mercury poisoning. Autism can
develop after birth in young children through exposure to dangerous
levels of mercury, such as inhaling mercury vapor from a CFL bulb.
Mercury poisoning also destroys and inhibits brain growth in young
children.

Democrats, left liberals, environmentalists, will almost never speak
this truth. Those people more value their political agendas and their
environmental agendas, more value their agendas than they value the
health and welfare of babies and children along with all people. Those
leftist greenies will deliberately kill people in horrific ways to push
forward with their socialist agenda, and this includes Barack Obama who
is well aware of this extreme danger of CFL bulbs.

As I type, literally as I type, there are workers in China, which
include child laborers, who are dying from mercury poisoning simply so
left liberal greenies can have their CFL bulbs to satiate their toxic
and deathly socialist agenda.

In this thread I read many left liberals ranting about how stupid are
conservatives, how we are tyrants and ranting about we conservatives
wanting to destroy our environment. None of those left liberals in this
mention they are baby killers and homosexualists, never mention they
cause harm to children and bring tragedy to families. No, their agendas
are more important no matter the horrific price people must pay.

CFL bulbs are another thalidomide tragedy and another environmental
disaster at the hands of socialist greenies.

These are truths Barack Obama keeps well hidden from America and from
our world, in the name of socialism.
