50 billion dollars spent in America is damage to the economy.

So instead of a 100 watt incandescent bulb you prefer the mercury in florescent bulbs?
And the pusher for this law was/is GE. Because I am sure they are only thinking about energy conservation and not the money they will reap by forcing you to buy their product.
And on that train of thought, it is unconstitutional for our government to tell us what we can or cannot buy if the item is "legal". (This brings up thoughts of healthcare but I will not get into that here.)

To answer this, see above. Out government should NOT be spending money on faulty science forcing me to buy products that they have investments in, and fining and imprisoning those who do not follow their laws. If you can declare "light bulbs" illegal, were does it stop? Let me repeat that, DECLARING PERFECTLY SAFE LIGHT BULBS ILLEGAL, that is a destruction of rights.
Why do people not see this? Wake up. You give the government more power over your life each time you say, "well they are just light bulbs, that isn't so bad." Next it will be gas, then traveling itself, maybe they should determine how much power our house can draw. I'm sorry, you can't have that extra TV because that will take you over your allotted power usage for your home.
THIS IS BULLSHIT AND NEEDS TO STOP NOW!!!!!
Do not give them a hair more power. We must fight them and their control over what we choose to buy, consume, or live our life.
Here are some quick links you really need to at least open and read the headlines.
