Incandescent Light Bulb Ban

I dunno.

I have known several strippers and I gotta tell ya: most of them were a heck of a lot sexier in dim lighting. Seeing 'em in the daylight was a disappointing experience.

I wouldn't know, not my bag.

Congress overturns incandescent light bulb ban

Congressional negotiators struck a deal Thursday that overturns the new rules that were to have banned sales of traditional incandescent light bulbs beginning next year.

That agreement is tucked inside the massive 1,200-page spending bill that funds the government through the rest of this fiscal year, and which both houses of Congress will vote on Friday. Mr. Obama is expected to sign the bill, which heads off a looming government shutdown.

...

The spending bill doesn’t actually amend the 2007 law, but does prohibit the administration from spending any money to carry out the light bulb standards — which amounts to at least a temporary reprieve.

Useless, complete waste of time. Why don't they just bring a bill to the floor that completely overturns it if they are serious about it.

Me, I'm on to LEDs.... just replacing the MR16s I have in my landscape lighting with LED bulbs will save me about $120/year in electricity with only a $2 premium on the bulbs. As soon as the other bulb types start coming down in price, I'll move to them as well.

The minute this bill went down I went out and bought (seriously not kidding) over a thousand of the non-mercury might kill you light bulbs.

Me too...I got a couple of buckets of em.
