Incandescent Light Bulb Ban.. Who will be the first to pirate Incandescents for the Black Market? I Vote China!
Well, the Enviro-MENTAL-ists have finally done it. They’ve convinced our government to ban Incandescent Light bulbs, & replace them with mercury poison filled fluorescents. MMmmm Mercury, need more of that in the landfills huh? How else can you be assured that Mercury will leak into the water table! It’s an amazing scam, & a sordid tale of ensuring job security for environmental extremists, while also helping to further validate the Global Warming hysteria of Reverend Gore & his apparently mercury poisoned followers. I wonder if they secretly eat these bulbs, & that’s why they want more of them? You know, kind of like dropping acid? Well anyway…
I can see it coming.. Thousand of people killed every year because the Governments around the world have been sold the greatest scam of the last two centuries, which is Global Warming as caused by humans. Cheap & poorly produced Incandescent bulbs will be produced within third world & patent ingnoring countries to fill the Black Market demand for a cheaper bulb. Fires in homes, & slave labor to produce inferior bulbs for all those who can no longer afford to light their homes. What’s that you say? Fluorescents have gotten very affordable, so your point is moot you say? Au contraire, mon frère! Once the Incandescents are banned, we will be fleeced by bulb manufacturers with night vision goggles, like fenced in sheep in the midnight hour. We will wake to find that Fluorescent bulbs have become the only choice, & therefore we’ll be exposed to the same kind of extortion that so many utility companies have perpetrated on us.
Some folks will go back to candles.. Hmmm, that doesn’t sound like it helps with global warming, or house fire prevention for that matter, does it?
Just like so many bone headed governmental decisions, this one was not thought through, it was just a knee jerk reaction to the latest nutroot demands on a majority Democratic Congress, & as usual the citizens of the United States will pay for it for years to come.
As always, Michelle Malkin has one of the best scoops on this unbelievable & unprecedented move to invade even our refrigerators
(those need to use these bulbs too.)
Hey here’s a thought! What happens when one of these Mercury filled Fluorescents breaks in your refrigerator!?? Are you going to “trust” that the “Small amount of Mercury” that the proponents say is “perfectly safe”, won’t poison you or your children? I don’t think I do.. ~D.L.
P.S. Nice touch by Michelle Malkin on the Green & Red swilry bulbs she pictured in her article. I’m sure she’s taken into account that several Moonbat towns in Massachusetts & Colorado will send her cease & desist letters to keep those Red & Green Christmasy bulbs from being downloaded by their town-sheep!
