incandesants-
halogen for where I must.

*The incandesant lightbulb is actualy an electric heater, outputting
only 3-6% of energy consumed as light you see, anybody relying on AC
in summer doesnt need a bigger bill from incandesants, do they.
Incandesants should be heavily taxed, CFls should be subsidised from
the tax.

*This reminds me of my film camera store, still pushing film a few
years ago, he closed his business recently.

That's great that you cut your energy cost, and that you wanted to
use
CFL bulbs. * If you want to use them, you should be allowed to do
so.

I am not concerned about the energy cost of the few bulbs in our
house
and I don't want to use CFL's. *If I don't want to use them, I
should be
allowed to use incandesents.

Get the government out of our everyday lives and decisions, like
what light bulb to use, and what health care I want.

To me, paying any utility co, is throwing money away. The bills kill
me and I see no negatives on cfls except some areas still need
incandesants, like dimmed can lights.
