Here is a U-Tube video I received from Bonnie Childress (Buddingman) --thank you Bonnie. A Texan, Representative Ted Poe in Congress is talking. The representative setting behind the speaker is Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado, a friend of mine. I went to school with Tom, at Holy Family High School in Denver, Colorado. Hear what a good Texan Representative has to say about CFL bulbs. - Millet

Thanks, Bob, very good video. Still haven't bought my supply of incandescent bulbs yet, but tried to last week (stock was low).

Good video. It's nice to hear common sense. It's not so common anymore.

One note I thought was interesting was that he mentioned China being the sole producer of the CFLs. China is now a net importer of coal. They're buying the coal that we shun so that they can produce the CFLs that the US wants. I wonder what the energy costs are to move coal to China, produce CFLs, and then ship them back.

Well you guys are bad luck. My wife called and said that our daughter dropped a CFL and broke it. I told my wife to clear the room for 15 minutes and come back armed with duct tape per EPA instructions. I also told her that the full body suit and breathing apparatus was optional.

Thanks for the video. It was a well needed practical application.
