Flannery sells the policy of the government which pays him | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Can we have our regular old light bulbs back now? | Watts Up With That?

Great, just great. Don’t get me wrong, I like the LED bulbs, I have several in my house. But when we get back to basics, a tungsten light bulb doesn’t require a haz-mat squad to dispose of.

We may have gained short term energy efficiency, but the long term payback may not be worth it.
