CFL's give me a headache so I will wait for the new GE bulbs and a liberal government.

Hybrid cars gives me a headache, I hate the smell of energy efficiency.

There's nothing that says: "I don't care" more than the throaty growl of the Hummer as you leave it idling beside a Prius.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather have mercury contained in air tight bulbs than in the air. Your choice though, really.

Is it? Not for much longer. I think not. It will be forced on us, so let's just acknowledge that this country is going communist and do away with the pretense that it's a "choice."

The lightbulb issue is ridiculous. For one thing, they admitted it wouldn't even make much of a dent in the overall annual emissions. The savings are laughable. After spending all day in an office, I do NOT want to sit in the same lighting at home.

Let them come out with a product that is energy-efficient, cheaper and provides a cozy homey glow, and I'll buy it. Don't force it on me by law.

The "Green" people will never be satisfied, anyway.

And what IS the deal with banning dishwashers? Are they going to have a long list of "exemptions?" You know, hospitals, restaurants, corporate cafeterias? is it just going to be the individual homeowner who will end up bearing the brunt of this move to go backwards because the government won't get its rotten head out of trying to run the economy and let business get on with making things better? We have capitalism to thank for a LOT of improvements; I sincerely hope this push to ban comforts of our modern age fails.
