WorldNetDaily: Congress' bloated pork won't fuel your car: "In a bold move, Congress managed to ban the incandescent light bulb. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said such action was 'proper congressional action.' Instead, Congress is mandating the politically correct compact fluorescent bulbs that use as little as one-fourth the power of the conventional bulbs.
It's interesting to note that the major manufacturers of incandescent bulbs are not upset by the new legislation; in fact they helped write it. Why? Well, could it be that the standard incandescent bulb costs about 50 cents each, and the new ones cost as much as $3? Of course, they tell us they last longer, so the cost is only up front – and so are the manufacturers' profits. Certainly they will be able to help write legislation to ban something else to increase their market share before the full mandatory transition to the new bulbs in 2012."
