Dim Bulbs

The GW fascists want to get incandescent light bulbs banned. They should keep their lunacy to themselves.

Incandescent light bulb, ye who sprang from the loins of Thomas Edison, thy days are numbered. Already you’ve been banned in Australia starting in 2010. Now similar moves are being contemplated in Canada and the European Union. Has the nanny state run amok once again?

This guy thinks so. He acknowledges the advantages of compact fluorescent lighting — the main alternative to incandescents, at least for the time being — including energy savings and flexibility in color temperature. But he also offers a long list of cons: They don’t produce a focused beam of light, don’t work well in extreme temperatures, can’t be battery-powered, pose a waste-disposal challenge due to mercury content, are too bulky for some light fixtures, don’t quite duplicate the golden glow of incandescents, and have higher sticker prices (though they’re cheaper to run). And, uh, they can’t be used to incubate an egg or keep your lizard warm, because they run cool.

A Californian politician also wanted to get a similar bill passed. Once again, there is nothing that can be done about climate change as it’s caused by the sun.  And there is also no substantial proof of induced caused GW. Just a lot of hype from people you should never trust. Political hacks, crypto-Marxists, and the UN (redundancy alert!).

They want to roll back civilization based on an unproven theory that is laughable for all the absurd logical fallacies they employ to sell it.

I have fluorescent bulbs in my house, and also incandescent. The fluorescent bulbs are a lot more expensive and produce inferior light. Thanks, but no thanks.

UPDATE: I personally think LEDs will replace both kinds of lights. Check this out.
