California may ban light bulb...

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Let's just ban California while we're at it!

The rest of the country would crumble...bow down before us, you ungrateful, whiney Americans.

As of 2005, The gross state product (GSP) is about $1.62 trillion, the largest in the country. California is responsible for 13% of the United States gross domestic product (GDP).

if we remove the porn industry, i wonder how much that would be then

Not just porn, Charles...quality porn, as opposed to your average Missouri, kissing cousins behind the outhouse kind.

Sheep love wasn't invented in California...most probably in the midwest.

If lightbulbs get banned how am i going to sit down to read a good magazine?

[Mandi+Ryan 1]

I have already switched to those spiral lights. They are brighter, plus they are cheaper on the electric bill.

While I agree that "compact energy-efficient fluorescents" are better, I think it's a mistake to outright ban the use of regular incandescent lightbulbs. Freedom of choice for the consumer is something we cherish in the country -- or at least, it should be anyway. I don't like the idea of the government meddling like this. I could see the government encouraging the use of fluorescents, but they can't (shouldn't be able to) force them on us.

I agree in principle but the incandescent bulbs use up way too much electricity. Unless someone could make a strong argument as to the difference between the quality of light, I don't see how banning these dinosaurs is infringing on consumer choice.

Sorta along the same lines here....did the consumers have a choice when leaded gasoline was changed to unleaded? How many pumps do you see for regular leaded gas? The cars today are made for unleaded gas consumption. I can see the trend going to where all lamps and light fixtures will be manufactured to use ONLY the flo bulbs. See where I'm going with this?

What probably needs to be improved here is the percentage of recycling. A recylced aluminum can only uses 5% of the energy needed to produce a new can from new aluminum. That equates to 1 recycled can saving enough electricity to power a TV for 3 hours..
