#1 This is a non-win. The plants have already closed. The jobs are already exported to China.

And they didn't even repeal the law. All this did was strip enforcement funds through September, 2012.

#2 Really pathetic. The Democrats got most of what they wanted, and this is a boiled, dry bone thrown to the Tea Party congressmen.

"Yeah, they got a trillion dollars, and we got a light bulb."

"Did they tell you where to stick it?"

#3 got a box of 24 100W Sylvanias at Amazon for $12. That's a pretty good price

#4 Theoretically the CFL are a environmental hazard due to the trace amounts of mercury contained in them.

The environmentalists never think anything through, they are like a bunch of hormonal teenaged girls that rage against something with out rational thought.

I'm waiting for someone in the California nanny state to wake up and pass a law requiring some kind of huge fee to dispose of a broken or burned out CFL and then we'll have a black market on incandescent bulbs.

Has anyone ever thought of the concept of using more natural light, adding skylights and turning off lights when you are through using it?

CFL's are the liberals answer to a lack of common sense in their constituency.

Typical environmental wacko stuff, their cures are always worse than the problem.
