I have been stocking up on incandescent lightbulbs, hoarding them in my bathroom cabinet as a hedge against the day when MY government tells me I must use those godawful fluorescent, mercury filled contraptions that are supposed to be “energy efficient”.
I love that Sen. Rand Paul slapped this Energy and Natural Resources Gestapo bureaucrat (just look at her… doesn’t she epitomize what a government toady looks like?) Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, Kathleen Hogan. We need more like her like we need a hole in the head.
Watch this.
See what I mean? Now go buy yourself some incandescents while they’re still on the store shelves. Oh, and Ginger has an update on the Lightbulb Freedom of Choice Act over at I Own The World. Can you believe we’re actually talking about a friggin Lightbulb Freedom of Choice Act? How ridiculous dangerous are our government agencies? Dissolve the EPA. NOW.

I think these bulbs are actually dangerous as well, besides the Hg hazard… they may be a fire hazard. I had one bulb that when it started to go out, it flickered at buzzed, then started to glow & smoke inside the hard plastic part. If it was an incad then it would have just flickered out, and no harm.
