We have one in the house right now - gem that it is, is in a light fixture that is turned on once a month! We have another (which is why we have only one in the house right now) bagged up on the garage workbench to be disposed of. It lasted all of two days and such is why we are buying up the mega packs of light bulbs at Sam’s Club (there is a good reason for such a place). We will have light as long as there is flowing electricity and/or a generator.
We also use Sam’s to be environmentally good - why buy the itty bitty containers weekly at the local grocery - when I can buy one mega container once a month (or for some 6 months)?
And we are able to stock some good staples - so that the next power failure - we will be set for the duration.
The new lights (like most environmental/liberal) ideas is a complete and utter failure. Too bad that the idiots got elected (or stole elections) and have the 4 years to totally, utterly screw up America.
But the up side will be a windfall conservative win in 2010 & 2012.
Hope it’s not too late.
There might be an upside to this, the greenerbals will buy into this without thought (are they able??), allthough they will not have their IQ diminished by the escape of mercury (as escape it will, never broken a light bulb then, or your kids, and Hg affects them the most) it will make their mad behavior blatantly obvious, only problem is where to find a sanitorium that big? perhaps Iran will house their best mates??
