Not much of a thinker, are you? Try telling a person who needs a light bulb but only has $3 in his pocket that LED bulbs are better. For him, they AREN'T.

The President's action doesn't do anything to hurt the LED light industry. It's not as if he's taken them off the market. If LED lights are, in fact, universally "better" than incandescents, demand for incandescent bulbs will go away. That's pretty simple and it's how the free market works.

All that the President has done is to restore the ability Americans have to make that decision for themselves. Why would you want to deny them that? Do you think it's better to NOT have choice? Do you want some government official to dictate across the board what products are "best"? I'll just remind you that Grey Goose is "better" than that cheap crap you guzzle. But it would present quite a problem if the cheap stuff were to go away, wouldn't it?

BTW, clo, your advice to zzfart isn't working, is it? LOL.
