Congressman Fred Upton has seen the light. And it's incandescent.

Upton, the St. Joseph Republican congressman representing Michigan's 6th District, was a leading advocate of a 2007 federal law to phase out the traditional incandescent light bulbs that go back to Thomas Edison's design and require energy-efficient options, like those curly fluorescent bulbs.

"I led the fight against Cap and Trade," said Upton, referring to the Obama administration plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
