Bad bad argument. Energy itself can't be used up. I think you mean resources, but that almost just as bad since the use of resources in the market will arise alternatives as the end comes near. Now of course with the government paying the bills and paying for research that goes out the window.
We are talking about light bulbs so at best you have secondary relationship as I said before. As they are not the source of the damage you have no authority for your statement.
He isn't harming the environment by using resources. He is affecting your ability to merely use those resources. To act as if they are the same is a fallacy.
And currently they decided that we can have our lightbulbs. Which isn't the real fight, but it is a victory none the less.
That is a good idea.You can buy an extension pole with a suction cup to remove and reinstall bulbs in high ceilings. I've got one and it works great.
You may only continue crapping in our backyards until October, live it up!!!
Perhaps if they last as long as the claims...I have had no such experience to date.Both CFLs and LEDs are cheaper than incandescent when you figure in the energy savings and longer life. Obviously there is a significant up-front cost with LEDs....
Less by limiting the rights of the user of the source they have no control over.
Of course he is... You understand about greenhouse gasses, right?
Less waste by consumer = less pollution of the environment that we all depend on. Seems like a direct responsibility to me.
Perhaps you did not learn anything of value from your military experiences.when I see an issue that is actually eroding a freedom, I will protest.
Lightbulbs ain't it....
I didn't spend all that time in the military defending the rights of others to trivialize over lightbulbs...there are important issues to consider...try spending time on something important for a change...
The incandescent bulbs in your link will also be banned in a few years.
When that happens, we will be forced to buy inefficient CFL bulbs or expensive LED bulbs. My Lowes does not have the 100 watt Sylvania bulbs listed in your link. I don't believe they exist.
Do you really abhor the right to decide for yourself what is best for you? Do you really want busybody bureaucrats making choices for you?RIGHTS! Come on man. Get real. What "right" do you think you have to buy crappy lightbulbs?
Why do you even care? The new ones are cheaper. The even have old fashioned incandescent lightbulbs that meet the standards now. The only reason left to want the old ones is if you actually WANT to destroy the environment and waste energy to prove some misguided point...
So why do you continue to waste energy by driving an automobile and heating and air-conditioning where you live? Come on Pot, stop it!
HE isn't doing that.
And I'm not a believer in the importance of CO2 in the equation to create the warmth. The number is far to low and coming in far to slow for it to be that much of any importance.
I would think that there are still places in the U.S. where people have outhouses in their back yards.
Do you really abhor the right to decide for yourself what is best for you? Do you really want busybody bureaucrats making choices for you?
Is your religion so dear that you willingly throw away your birthright to support it? When the Soviet Union collapsed (thank you Mr. Reagan) the Environmental movement became the new home of the reds.
Like I said, you're free not to believe in science if you don't want to, but you live in a democracy. You aren't the only one with a say in it.
You are missing the point. I want the free market to allocate resources. I do not want the government telling me what toilet I can have, and what lightbulbs I must buy. I am rich. I will buy the bulb that best fits my needs, including my willingness to pay a premium for convenience.Why would you even want to buy the old lightbulbs? They have cheaper ones that last longer now, and they're better for the environment to boot... They even have old fashioned incandescent ones that meet the standard if you're feeling nostalgic or something... I honestly can't come up with one reason somebody would want to buy the old ones except to make some kind of misguided point about wanting to destroy the environment or something. Can you explain why you want to?
Not if you love liberty.What? We live in a democracy. We all decide what rules we want to live under together...
Where exactly do you think I'm getting my doubt from?
And democracy is not about equal say. Democracy is about majority rules regardless of what the minority says.
You understand that man caused global warming is a hoax, right?Of course he is... You understand about greenhouse gasses, right?
You are missing the point. I want the free market to allocate resources. I do not want the government telling me what toilet I can have, and what lightbulbs I must buy. I am rich. I will buy the bulb that best fits my needs, including my willingness to pay a premium for convenience.
I do not care one whit about the environment.
Not if you love liberty.
