    Yes hamilcar...just bulbs..... bulbs that pose a danger....that the government is forcing upon us. It is one more thing in a long line of increasintg government imposed controls.... Together they demonstrate a disturbing trend...for those who have their eyes open.

    They are still 'new' to the market. Give it a few years and they will be much, much cheaper. 2016 is 8 years away...

    Yes. Compulsion and prohibition. Both are at play in this example. We simply have no choice because the government wields the sword.

    Illuminating, isn't it?

    I use the CFL bulbs in some parts of my house, but not all. I've been using them for years, and didn't notice a significant change in my electrical bill. The biggest factors in reducing my electrical bills include:

    1. Turning off lights and other things when not using them.
    2. Upgrading to energy efficient appliances.

    My electrical bill is less than half of what it was 2 years ago because of these changes I made over the last 6 months.

    Does Haliburton own the company that makes thes bulbs by any chance? Or does George W or Jeb own stock in the company that does?

    Boy...was there a hoo ha topic like this about the change over to HD and us all having TVs that wont work any more? We didnt have a choice in that either. Or the gas prices hitting the roof or needing catalytic converters or changing the drinking age, or the maximum speed limits or ...
