Remember those light bulbs we banned to save the planet? About that...
2011-09-09
BANNING the humble 60-watt light bulb to make way for so-called energy-saving ones and "help save the planet" was last night exposed as an elaborate EU con.

Tests show ­production and disposal of the new bulbs uses up more energy than ­traditional lights.
Of course, the evil neocons and tea party people have been saying this for years... Put in seedy politicians since they are still forcing this junk science down our throats.

#1  Damn! Arithmetic wins again!

But hey, look on the bright (heh) side: at least we are cutting down on the amount of mercury emitted by evil coal-burning power plants. And replacing it with mercury in our living rooms.
