The Light Bulb Drama

The federal Energy Bill passed by Congress in 2007 dictates that all conventional light bulbs be replaced by LED or Compact Flourescent bulbs by 2014. As John Brock in the Waccamaw Times states: "The new bulbs are extremely expensive, American-made bulbs are non-existent and no private citizens can sensibly dispose of a burnt-out bulb in accordance with extensive government regulations".

These new bulbs contain Mercury, a heavy metal that is extremely dangerous to our health, and believe it or not, Congress dictated the end of the use of Mercury in thermometers many years ago.

As John Brock says, "The U.S. Constitution doesn't give Congress the power to regulate light bulbs in homes or elsewhere".

This Republic is going the way of the Dodo bird.
