Imagine 100-watt incandescent light bulbs as contraband in California

Smuggling bootleg light bulbs into California would be a piece of

I see no diff in incandescent vs. flourescent. Â*The latter lasts a lot

At 5% Ethanol a 20 Gallon Tank of Gas has
19 Gals of Imported Oil and 1 Gal of Domestic
Ethanol : That One Less Gal of Imported Oil

Imported Oil by another 10%. ~ RHF

It takes 21 pounds of corn to make a gallon of Ethanol, which needs
imported oil to be grown and harvested. Imported oil is also needed
to convert corn into Ethanol. I've linked a site which explains the
numbers, but the end result is that Ethanol consumes more imported oil
than it saves. Oh, and it also causes world starvation.

There's a reason that even Al Gore has turned against this:
