| Very sad, now we have to purchase the mercury filled bulbs (Watch onepackage drop in Walmart - very nasty). The destructor has sent another200 jobs overseas. He cares my @$$. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs inthe United States is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit fora product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas AlvaEdison's innovations in the 1870s. The remaining 200 workers at the plant here will lose their jobs. "Now what're we going to do?" said Toby Savolainen, 49, who like manyothers worked for decades at the factory, making bulbs now deemedwasteful. During the recession, political and business leaders have held out thepromise that American advances, particularly in green technology, mightstem the decades-long decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs. But as thelighting industry shows, even when the government pushes companiestoward environmental innovations and Americans come up with them, themanufacture of the next generation technology can still end up overseas. What made the plant here vulnerable is, in part, a 2007 energyconservation measure passed by Congress that set standards essentiallybanning ordinary incandescents by 2014. The law will force millions ofAmerican households to switch to more efficient bulbs. The resulting savings in energy and greenhouse-gas emissions areexpected to be immense. But the move also had unintended consequences. Rather than setting off a boom in the U.S. manufacture of replacementlights, the leading replacement lights are compact fluorescents, orCFLs, which are made almost entirely overseas, mostly in China. _________________ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ - Benefactor Life NRA - Concealed Handgun Instructor Texas

| I watched a program a couple days ago on this. They are going to led bulbs, which will last about 18 years and at the start cost the consumer around $60. Fluecence will be a thing of rhe past also. The lights are just as bright as the old style which is a good deal. Whats not a good deal is where they will be manufactured. Just another step tp bankrupt us and force us into a marxist/socialist state. This goes along with the $50 billion infrastructure "bailout" that the black iman is putting into effect. Saying it will spur the economy. It's more like spurn the economy. Demoncraps should be kicked out of the country or tried for treason. |

| Anytime the policies and actions of the gov shut down jobs and manufactured product forcing the production offshore and the jobs to be relocated offshore, the gov needs to be stopped. This crap has been going on long enough and you see where it has gotten us! These economic policies and procedures have just killed the investment and development of the domestic economy and our money and efforts need ot be palced where it really matters to us at home! _________________ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ - Benefactor Life NRA - Concealed Handgun Instructor Texas

| Do you think S. Korea or Nam or any of the others have policies that prevent the use of lead, mercury or other hazardous substances. Hell no cause they know they can ship that crap over here to us and we will pay for it!

| It is dead on.
As for the bulbs.. Nafta, Gat and other treaties like them have sent the jobs out of the US. The government has to repeal them before jobs can come back. Also, they need to lower corporate taxes to get manufacturers to even look at the US. We have the second highest corporate tax rate in the world. Third is 2007 when this dipstick law was passed. The very year the Democrats took over congress. They and Imam Obama want these jobs to go over seas, they want US tax payers to have to buy bulbs from china and other countries. You have to force us to buy from them, it's the only way to redistribute the wealth. _________________ The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
