Imagine 100-watt incandescent light bulbs as contraband in California
-- persona non gratis -- but illegal immigrants get free tuition --
amigo de bienvenida.

Smuggling bootleg light bulbs into California would be a piece of
cake. Just stuff them inside bales of marijuana. Or line up eight
packs in the cargo bays of Greyhound buses carrying illegals on the
express lane from Tijuana to any of two dozen sanctuary cities. Hey,
wave 'em on in, there's nothing to check there! Ten-four!

I see no diff in incandescent vs. flourescent. *The latter lasts a lot
longer, too. *Bunch of whining by poor mothe****ers who apparently
can't afford to splurge the extra 2 bones for the better bulb.

Quit whining and go get a job that pays more, losers.

Every one of those "high efficiency" bulbs I have bought have been pieces

way that a pile of those crappy bulbs in the trash bin is more efficient
than a single incandescent.

Do you have cite in California law that incandescent bulbs will be sold? I
mean
other than one lone wingnut.

That's nice. Can't you refine it to a single paragraph?

You wanted the raw data, I gave it to you. Here's the single
paragraph.

Kiss your 100-watt lightbulb goodbye

By Tracy Seipel

Californians can start saying goodbye to traditional 100-watt
incandescent light bulbs now that the state has become the first in
the country to require a new standard for the screw-base bulbs.

Experts say the new rules, which took effect New Year's Day, will save
residents money and energy. California is already the nation's leader
in energy-efficiency standards.

As of Saturday, what used to be a 100-watt light bulb manufactured and
sold in California will have to use 72 watts or less. The 72-watt
replacement bulb, also called an energy-saving halogen light, will
provide the same amount of light, called lumens, for lower energy cost.
