Our View: Bulb debate produces more heat than light

The Associated Press led its analysis of a congressional battle over the relative efficiency of fluorescent and incandescent lights with the line, "How many members of Congress does it take to screw up a light bulb?"

The AP was looking at a conservative effort to repeal efficiency standards adopted in 2007 while George W. Bush was president. The allegation is that the conservatives were using the situation to make an argument for less government intrusion into consumer choice.

"Government dictating a ban on incandescent light bulbs in favor of costly, environmentally hazardous compact fluorescent light bulbs is just another example of politicians and government bureaucrats who think they know better, trying to make decisions that should be left to American consumers," Indiana Republican Rep.Shopatron's retail-integrated led strip eCommerce solution is a great fit for a service-focused company like OceanLED Todd Rokita said in a July 13 press release.That means an cfl bulbs Amphibian ordered online can be shipped to the customer from any authorized OceanLED dealer that has the product in stock.

His point is well taken. Changes in the economy of an American household will certainly be better received when they bubble up from the grass roots. But Rokita fails to acknowledge that American consumers have already started making the choice.

General Electric says demand for traditional bulbs has already diminished by half — half — over the last five years. That means lighting manufacturers are already convincing consumers the higher up-front cost for fluorescents is worth the long-term savings.

The punchline for that question — How many members of Congress? — turns out to be "It takes a majority." But the House couldn't conjure one,However, on closer inspection, the bulb table lamps itself is just a small part of the shape of the LED light. so the real joke turns out to be that this came up smack in the middle of the debate over raising the debt ceiling. Stand-up comedians got their laughs at the time, but nobody's laughing as we wait to see how investors here and around the world react to the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating by Standard & Poors,changing how sky lanterns boat owners light up the night.
