The hubby likes the energy effeciency of the cfl's. I wonder what the plan is for night light type bulbs...and all those silicone dipped ones too. We'll have to do a prim gal revolt on the government if they take those away!<br /><br />Ddee begghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454376668751849560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159502932678410189.post-15100858790640355862010-09-24T19:55:50.071-04:002010-09-24T19:55:50.071-04:00Yes, I've heard bad news about those curly Que...Yes, I've heard bad news about those curly Qued light bulbs too.Firecracker Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15934986847344725158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159502932678410189.post-348359778305023192010-09-24T19:36:34.361-04:002010-09-24T19:36:34.361-04:00I am stocking up.

We use them now, but are very, very careful with them and have a way to dispose of them safely. Our local Home Depot's recycle them. I don't know where they go after Home Depot takes them in. <br /><br />Yes, lots of American jobs have been lost due to congressional mandates. The bill fazing them out was signed in 2007 by George W, to take effect fully in 2014.<br /><br />I guess one of the reasons that I even paid attention to the news report yesterday was the last GE plant that shut down was located in Winchester VA, and we use to do 2 shows a year in that town, so know the area well. <br /><br />Hopefully America will wake up and demand "Made in the USA" products. Congress needs to require other countries to play fair when it comes to exports/imports...we do, so should China!<br /><br />Ddee begghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454376668751849560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159502932678410189.post-14508109229149591422010-09-24T17:15:10.521-04:002010-09-24T17:15:10.521-04:00Gina,

Not sure just how you are suppose to clean up the darn things though as sweeping them would stir up dust again. Our local Home Depot's recycle them. I put them in a small box and when I remember to take them there I do. <br /><br />Ddee begghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454376668751849560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159502932678410189.post-53996753126988548242010-09-24T14:29:16.498-04:002010-09-24T14:29:16.498-04:00Okay are all the old style bulbs going to be antiq...Okay are all the old style bulbs going to be antiques soon? <br /> I saw the vidio about the new bulbs and how to dispose of them.. They are also only manufactured over seas right now, so in a sense they just killed good ole american jobs and handed them to china!
