Really, doesn’t congress have better things to do and bigger problems to tackle than Edison’s evil little invention? Green Peace activists the world over are cheering, but others are standing around scratching their heads. Much like congresses brilliant decision to kill off standard over the air TV, congress leaps over the technology curve to force a still maturing technology.
A green website concludes their article with this:
“A few decades from now, people may look back on incandescent light bulbs as relics so inefficient that they are dangerous”
There are still questions about the safety of the new bulb. Here are some of the virtues of the new bulb.
Why not let consumers vote? I guess congress just likes playing big brother on the small things, while giving people the free choice to kill children. It makes no sense!
