GOP Congressman Gives Good Speech against New Government-Mandated Toxic Lightbulbs

GOP Congressman Gives Good Speech against New Government-Mandated Toxic Lightbulbs

Posted on March 6, 2011 by Dan Mitchell

Regular readers of this blog already know (see here, here, and here) that I’m not a big fan of the new “CFL” light bulbs that we will be forced to use in a couple of years.

In a more entertaining fashion, here’s a video from a few years ago, featuring a Republican Congressman railing against the new bulbs.

Repealing the idiotic mandate for these inferior bulbs should be a gimme for the new Republican majority. Somehow, though, I predict they’ll screw up and leave the requirement in place.
