redgreenandblue.org — The switch to energy-saving bulbs was approved by EU ministers this past week. Advocates claim that replacing the worst-performing lamps with today’s best available technology will reduce domestic energy consumption for lighting by 60 percent; equivalent to preventing 30 million tons of CO2 pollution every year.

Isn't it embarassing that Europe is the leader on this? Think how far ahead we could have been had it not been for 8 years of republican denial.

While on the subject I once took a portable spectrometer from the lab and drove down high street at night. You know all those neon signs? Beer signs and the like? No neon. Mercury. This is a much bigger problem that they let on.

I take some of that back. I just saw dimmable CFLs in my local RiteAid.

Of course if you break one of the little new florescent light bulbs you have to call out the hazmat team and have them clean your house because of the mercury you get, wait wasn't that banned years ago, oh well never mind. I got news I am already on the new bulbs and I sure as hell dont care if it breaks or not, I am not going to call anyone I'll clean it up. The new bulbs really are good and they do save a lot of money, I and not sure the governmetn has any business mandating this sort of thing though

Who they think they are to ban some type of bulbs just because they're "less efficient" as they say? We should be the ones to decide if we like them or not. If they're not good,<a class="user" href="http://www.tawsl.net/vb/">http://www.tawsl.net/vb/</a> they will be replaced everywhere by better ones, but it should not be because they want to sell us some poisonous bulbs with mercury. CAN YOU SMELL THE FASCISM?
