LED lights are pretty awesome, they could replace stuff as a light bulb.

He's just made himself look like a big dum dum
Everything is made in China! OMG - he's making out that China is dangerous in anything it produces!

Poisoning our Dogs! Killing out children! Lighing up our homes!

LMAO - he think edisons bulb should remain because the new bulb is "UnAmerican"
You have got to be kidding, where do you get these people?!

No, he thinks Edison's bulb should remain because CFLs are poisonous. That, and the new law would require all Americans to buy something that is only made in China. Like they don't already get enough of our money.

Apart from the useless "Red Scare" garbage and the insulting constitution thumping, the congressman from Texas raises a good point about Congress passing a law mandating CFLs without providing for recycling plans or an awareness campaign regarding their toxicity. I imagine some of this will sort itself out by 2014 as the issue gains more press, similar to the information "crisis" surrounding the digital television conversion going on today.

Meh, you can buy CFLs made in California:

If the senator really wants to prevent people from mercury poisoning, he should be voting against Coal Plants and incinerators:

Granted, I don't think it should be banned, I just think that we should tax incads.

OMFG, what a tool this guy is.

MG, you made his point for him in far better, and far shorter way.

The representative from Texas just sounds like a luddite grandstanding, or a shill for energy companies, trying to make it sound like making an effort to conserve energy is downright dangerous.

Had he been less of a demagogue, he might get people to agree with him on the merit of his argument (which ultimately is a good one), without trying to use *fear.
