Saving your children's lives is a job killer

One could only conclude that the protectors of the old fashion incandescent light bulb personally must have lots to lose. Losing as in investments in the coal burning electric company. More like losses in coal and hydrocarbon types of dirty generated energy.

As most of us know, the old fashioned incandescent light bulb is to be phased out come January one. The Edison light bulb is to be replaced by a more efficient lesser electricity-consuming bulb. Consuming less energy at least by 25-percent.

However, the coal burning power companies and their Congressional representatives don’t want this to happen. It will cut into profits. Profits made by selling mega watts of electricity. Also cut into profits from the coalmines. All of which seriously pollute the air, water, and ground. Polluted smoke filled air saturated with mercury and other heavy toxic metal particulates.

And it seems that only the Republicans are the defenders of the old style bulb. The bulb, which is more heat than light. Thus drawing more electricity that a more efficient CFL or LED light.

And we can only conclude that the Republicans in Congress are receiving the lion’s share of coal burning power company lobby money. Right? Right!

Republicans have created legislation to stop the energy saving bulbs. Plus encouraging the usage of the old fashioned Edison energy draining bulb. All done by claiming the government is interfering in our lives. More like interfering with the profits of the coalmine and electricity company’s shareholder profits.

So what the Republicans are saying in actuality is they must pollute the air and risk your lives and the lives of your children in order to make a profit. Right? Right! How else could it be? “Inefficiency and Pollution trumps good health. Get over it.”
