did I miss something?
"over priced" - is an opinion in a way.
I believe the way of capitalism drives the price. Gonna play the game than deal with it, no?
I'm not bitching - I'm just sayin'...
We pay one way or the other.

cool.
thanks.
but i still don't know what you are talking about.
and I'm too lazy to look up thread to try to figure out what "laws" and what knot the dems/repubs are (actually?) working on together to try and get passed/finished/working.
oh well... i think I'll go snort some mercury... or maybe just eat some tuna.

President Bush signed the bill into law, and it was passed with support from both parties
Federal legislation
In December 2007, many of these state efforts became moot when the federal government enacted the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which requires all general-purpose light bulbs that produce 310–2600 lumens of light[33] be 30% more energy efficient (similar to current halogen lamps) than then-current incandescent bulbs by 2012 to 2014. The efficiency standards will start with 100-watt bulbs in January 2012 and end with 40-watt bulbs in January 2014.
Light bulbs outside of this range are exempt from the restrictions. Also exempt are several classes of specialty lights, including appliance lamps, rough service bulbs, 3-way, colored lamps, stage lighting, and plant lights.
By 2020, a second tier of restrictions would become effective, which requires all general-purpose bulbs to produce at least 45 lumens per watt (similar to current CFLs). Exemptions from the Act include reflector flood, 3-way, candelabra, colored, and other specialty bulbs.[34

For all you barkf*#kers and pinkos. Do you really recycle your CFL bulbs? I mean really... not just toss them in the trash?
These guys can do it for you for only $120 clams:
There are a variety of for-profit companies that provide CFL and fluorescent bulb disposal by mail. Failing a local option, these firms represent a responsible and environmentally friendly channel for CFL recycling. Lightbulbrecycling.com, for instance, will send you a handy, postage-paid plastic pail which will accommodate about 30 CFLs — more than most homes will use in many years. Just drop your spent CFLs in their well-engineered pail, and call FedEx for pick-up. The downside is that the service is quite expensive: about $120 per shipment. At today's prices, this almost triples the unit price of your CFL. On the other hand, with the energy you'll save with each bulb, you're still ahead of the game. You'll also know for sure that your CFLs are being recycled in a safe fashion
Mother of Satan!!!! How are below the poverty line Americans supposed to recycle forced upon them government CFL's when they can't afford to put food on the table? Unreal! Give these poor folk a nice, cheap, American made bulb for Christs sake. The pure light makes those microwave burritos they are eating look good too... you ever seen a .28 cent chimichanga under the glow of a CFL or LED??? Not even a dog would want to touch it.

Duke Power, here in good ol' NC, sent me 24 CFL's for free just this past Fall. I"m bulb rich baby!!! Of course they asked the state for a 15% rate hike a few weeks later. They only got 7.2%, but I'm still losing, even with the free bulbs. Sigh.
