I was reading in Investor’s Business Daily last night an editorial that was serious but funny to me. Europe is implementing the new mercury energy saving fluorescent light to replace the incandescent light bulb this year. It is mandatory to have them in use later this year.

As usual some citizens got a head start on trying them out. The first complaint was that they didn’t give off the same light as the old 60 watt light bulbs. Engineers measured the situation. The mercury energy saver was 11 watt and produce 58% of the 60 watt incandescent bulb’s light.

Mercury is a poisonous toxic chemical to humans. So when one breaks environment people say don’t use a vacuum cleaner to pick up the glass shards and mercury dust. It will just turn a room into a super toxic waste dump needing governmental cleanup teams. Open windows and leave room so that you don’t inhale the mercury dust.

The mercury energy saving light will not come to full brightness until it has been on for several minutes. It doesn’t work in all light bulb sockets. Electrical circuits having dimmer switches or ground fault checkers cause the light not to function.

Mercury Energy fluorescent bulb will be mandatory in USA in 2012. Major incandescent bulb manufacturers are shutting down existing factories. China will be making the incandescent as well as the mercury fluorescent energy saving lights. China’s cheap labor took away 400 USA workers jobs. China’s labor force is accustomed to mercury poisoning.

Obama has touted the energy saving bulbs for creating green technology jobs for Americans and reducing electrical demand. Obviously I don’t think like the Obama energy czar. The following five items are not pluses for going green:

• It takes more energy to produce a mercury energy saving fluorescent light than an incandescent one.
• We want every home and business at risk of toxic mercury contamination.
• China gets the jobs and factories to produce the bulbs.
• The bulbs will have to be disposed of in the hazardous waste.
• It will take more engineering of or more bulbs to light a room like the old Edison bulbs did.

Tell me again what the purpose of these energy saving bulbs were? DO they work as advertised? The idea for these energy bulbs originated with the United Nation creating feel good laws because of guess what? GLOBAL WARMING!

These are the same people who send in UN troops to prevent genocide. A task they failed miserably at. They are good for disarming civilians of their firearms. I guess they can’t have the civilians irritating the rebels who are armed.
