    I hate big government telling us how to light our houses. Some of us don't make 300-400 dollars extra to light our homes. The liberals are trying to bankrupt the working class, simple as that.

    Ya know what? Fuggit! Take our light bulbs, but you ain't touching my ing gun(s)!!!

    "you ain't touching my ing gun"

    ah, remember the NRA-generated paranoia (NRA is nothing but the political tool of the guns&ammo industry) just after Barry was elected? He was gonna take all the guns and ammo. Caused a huge run on guns and esp ammo. Gun/killing fetishists were buying every bullet in sight. They all got duped, suckered by the guns&ammo industry.

    Damn, Darrin, do you ever post anything that is remotely true?

    There's plenty of stuff you can post that supports many of your stalking points, but when you constantly post crap that a two-year old can disprove using Google, all it does is make you look stupid. You have done it so many times now that one would think you would learn.

    The theory of "throw until some sticks" doesn't work when you keep ting on yourself.

    I just figured the greens won't like all that mercury going into the landfill.
    So the 'greens' is who you're afraid of, not the government...

    Plus why is mercury going into landfills. These should be being recycled. HD, Lowes and Walmart all have drop offs.

    Incandescent will be illegal and CFL's will probably join them.
    I agree. It will happen in the near future.

    they are toxic and have recycling problem.

    Go green on electric use, but at what cost to the environment and recycling costs?

    I replaced all of the bulbs in my apartment in 2007 with CFLs, then when I moved out, I switched the incandesents back in and brought those CFLs with me to the house we bought in 2008. I still have those bulbs, all in use and doing thier jobs quite well (except one which was broken during the move and yes I took the appropriate precautions). If they last at least a year longer, I will probably replace them as they burn out with LEDs (a year to allow the LED prices to come down). I guess in about a year or so, I can sell my box of incandescents (which came out of the sockets in my house) to some luddite for a ton of cash
    Cheapskate.

    At under $1 per CFL, not worth my time.

    CFLs work great and produce great savings... I don't know exactly where the idea that they'll get outlawed anytime soon comes from...
    I'll bet dollars to donuts that when LED's become affordable, there will be a push to outlaw fluorescents due to their poisons.

    As near as I read, the article is accurate.
    Not very near.

    Cheapskate.

    Maybe we can protect our light bulbs with our guns?

    Not worth my time to save $1 a bulb. All my lights are CFL, and when I move, I'm not wasting my time taking them with me.

    Maybe he sold the house to a Republican and the incandescent bulbs were a selling point.

    Am I ing?

    I would prefer to have LEDs. In fact, bought one last year, but it wasn't adequate, so I didn't buy any more.

    LOL...
    If your biased closed mind wishes to believe that, I won't stop you.

    I would be more prone to believe it to be a selling point to a family with little kids.

    So when they're more affordable and come in brighter versions, you're there.

    Absolutely

    With your track record of trolling, what else am I to believe?

    So you disagree with Darrin's OP as well.

    OK.

    With your track record of trolling, what else am I to believe?
    I expect you to believe nothing but your biased and closed mind.

    Again, with your track record of trolling, what else am I to believe?
    We'll add this to your track record of not being able to tell the difference.

    I am a little confused, what are your referring to? The fact that I moved the bulbs from the apartment to the house? Or the fact that I have a box of incandescents?

    If it is the former, remember that this happened in 2008. They were a little more expensive... Also, I was buying my first house so saving pennies was in order (as it is now). Additionally, I had a < 1 year old daughter and a special needs 10 year old. So yeah, I am a cheapskate. If I don't do things like that I don't get to buy the occasional 10 dollar beer or send my (now) 3 year old daughter to private school. That is tragic in my world.

    If it is the latter, then I have to say I don't see the point in throwing away a perfectly good working item. Like I said, I can sell them to wingnuts next year.

    (edit: now that I have read the rest of the thread it seems to be the former. Also I didn't move from one house to the next, I took the bulbs from my apartment and put them in the house I purchased)

    edit 2: also, I do agree that they will likely outlaw the cfls when the LEDs become more compe ive. Incremental progress.

    To everyone else in this thread..... "you lie"? Really? That's what you bring? Sticks and stones, mo fo's, sticks and stones.
    If you're not a completely lazy , you can take them to any Lowe's or Home Depot. Problem solved. Lowe's will also take any large rechargable batterires (laptop, lawn equipment, etc), and Home Depot will take almost any rechargeable battery, including personal AA and AAAs.
