Selling Incandescent Light Bulbs As Heating Devices
Csiko writes "The European Union has banned by law trading of incandescent light bulbs due to their bad efficiency/ecology (most of the energy is transformed into heat). A company is now trying to bypass this restriction by offering their incandescent light bulb products as a heating device (article in German) instead of a light device. Still, their 'heat balls' give light as well as heating. So — every law can be bypassed if you have some creativity!"
People are making all sorts of comments in response to this article about what's really efficienct and what works the best. Excuse me but has anyone stopped to consider the fundamental question of what business does the government have banning light bulbs in the first place?
The Democrat Congress doesn't give a fuck about farmers or do-it-yourselfers.
They want all of us to quit those jobs, go work in factories or offices, and then depend on Mommy Government to provide us with the necessities of life. How DARE you do something like raise your own food? You must be some kind of Tea Party nutjob. (Just joking of course.) (Or am I?)
