Bachmann, light bulbs and contradictions
For those of you who can't seem to get enough of Michele Bachmann's brand of wisdom, your cup is about to overflow.
She has announced her intention to form an exploratory committee designed to assess whether there is any sense in her running for the office of president of the United States.energy saving light bulbs are a great way to save energy and money. The committee will find lots of support for Minnesota's 6th District republican representative. She is the darling of the phenomenon known as the Tea Party movement. If she finds a way to get elected president, one thing is certain — there will be no energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs in the White House.
She doesn't like them. She once said that if you drop one in your house, you would have to bring in people in hazmat outfits to sweep up the broken bulb.
But that's not the real issue for Bachmann.Elsewhere, indications of monthly chain store sales show retailers did better LED lighting supplier than expected in February. Analysts expect retailers, on average, will show a 3.6 percent gain in sales. What she is worried about most is the phasing out of old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs under former President George W. Bush's Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.CALLS have been made to turn off the lights at one of dstti Oxford's busiest junctions, after the traffic ran more smoothly when they failed.
Some people have called it a ban. The law doesn't ban incandescents, but sets performance standards most of the old-style bulbs can't meet. The real reason Bachmann wants to do away with the light bulb phase-out is she just doesn't like the government sticking its nose into everyone's lampshade.
She has been very busy stumping in Iowa and elsewhere,"It has become almost a cliché to say that optical fibers are the cornerstone led light of the modern information age," said Badding. "These long, thin fibers, which are three times as thick as a human hair, can transmit more than a terabyte -- the equivalent of 250 DVDs -- of information per second. Still, there always are ways to improve on existing technology." and I haven't spoken to her directly. However, Doug Sachtleben,The lights, which change colour, are part Led light of the continuing overhaul of the centre.

That is music to the ears of members of the Tea Party movement, many of whom believe our government is creeping toward socialism.

Some say it's not a ban,

It is a light bulb "ban" that's coming:
any light bulb not meeting the energy usage standard is banned.
Yes, energy efficient halogen incandescent replacements are allowed,
but still have some constructional and appearance differences, a
whiter light output etc compared with regular bulbs, apart from
costing much more for the small savings, which is why neither
consumers or governments really like them, since they have been around
for a while now without being sold much.
No light bulbs should be banned:
There is no present or future shortage of energy sources for
electricity justifying telling what paying consumers can use,
only some power plants -not light bulbs- give out CO2 gas, where there
is a problem - deal with the problem...
especially since the overall USA energy savings from light bulb regulations
are less than 1% anyway,
based on the US Dept of Energy's own statistics ( ceolas.net/#li171x )
-remember the politicians keep including non-incandescent street and
industrial lighting in the usual high US usage percentages quoted.
Much greater, and much more relevant, energy waste savings arise from
effectively organized electricity generation and grid distribution,
and from reducing the unnecessary use of appliances:
rather than from stopping people in their personal choice of what
appliance they want to buy and use.
LED light bulbs could very well be the next best thing in lighting. The technology is making inroads in every market, with an LED bulb for any application. LEDs have a long list of advantages over incandescent and CFL lighting. A common complaint about compact fluorescents is the ramp-up time to full brightness. Instant-on CFLs provide light instantly, but still require time to reach full brightness. LED light bulbs provide full illumination from the moment they’re turned on. It reminds me of how compact fluorescent technology slowly dominated incandescent technology. There is a similar roadblock, as well; LEDs have outlandish high prices. A lot of people taking Electrical Continuing Education will definitely agree with me.
