Back in December 2007 the United States Congress voted to ban incandescent bulbs and to replace them with toxic CFL bulbs. These toxic CFL bulbs contain toxic mercury gas that is harmful if the light bulb breaks. Watch this to learn more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0cJc3VEh94
It passed in the House of Representatives 314-100 as you can see here: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll1177.xml It passed in the Senate 86-8 as you can see here: http://senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=1&vote=00430
The reason I mention it now is that I did not mention it my post “End ecofascism now!” and I read South Carolina is voting to end light bulb prohibition if they can get the votes: http://blog.heritage.org/2011/05/09/south-carolina-taking-light-bulb-ban-into-its-own-hands/ This should pass in every state and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Federal government tried to sue a state over this. Unfortunately this legislation was signed by President Bush Jr. that same month. What absurd way will the government try to control the lives of Americans next?
