I had to pay 7 damn dollars for a single light bulb yesterday

[rightwinger]

Thank the libs for the high cost of your fancy new light bulbs...

And lower electric bills

Energy Rates Have Already Gone Up 38% Under Obama:

Residential electricity prices are expected to hit record levels in 2015 and 2016, according to federal government projections.

U.S. average electricity rates will hit a record high, this year, at 38 percent higher than they were in 2001, according to the Energy Information Administration. That record is expected to be beaten in 2016, as prices hit 12.86 cents per kilowatthour (kWh)– the highest annual average price in the 21st century.​

Home Depot......Four 60 watt LED bulbs for $15.99 ($4 each)

They use 9 watts to deliver what an incandescent 60 watt bulb does

EcoSmart 60W Equivalent Soft White A19 Energy Star + Dimmable LED Light Bulb (4-Pack)-A810SS-Q1D-01 - The Home Depot

My kitchen has the lights on most of the day and the fixture uses four 60 watt bulbs. Means I used to burn 240 watts to light my kitchen, now I use 36 watts

Why??? WTF was wrong with traditional bulbs? What government entity thought this was a smart idea? Did they include subsidies for the poor to be able to afford these bulbs?

CFL or LED?

LED....CFL's are a hazard....

The poor and the majority of the lower middle class cannot afford LED's.

Sure they can....the poor can't afford not to have them

Just replace them one or two at a time and see how much you save. Start with the rooms in your house that have the lights on most the time....Kitchen, living room, family room
Bathrooms, closets where the lights are only on for a few minutes don't really need them

Use what you want LEDs, incandescents, CFLs - it's all good.
I prefer 100 W incandescents they have better light...

Your trouble seeing the light is well documented on USMB.

How many grumpy grampas does it take to change a light bulb?

Have you always been such a sad little man, or was that an acquired trait?

Why post an easily exposed lie? What purpose does that serve?

what lie
rates have gone up under Obama
and if you actual looked at it

the majority has been under his tenure

truth is hard for the left
in fact, it is their worst enemy

Hey........not a big deal. 8 years under Obama and what do the green k00ks have to celebrate? Light bulb legislation.........AND THATS IT!!

Solar energy is still less than 1% for meeting our electricity needs and wind just a bit more.......in other words, 8 years later, renewables still a joke and event eh Obama EIA projects total renewables will still only be 10% in 2040 ( and most of that hydropower ) . Cap and Trade? Dead as a doornail!!! And Chinese coal production will be increasing by 50% by 2050!!! Also.....in 2016, nobody is caring about global warming.........its is at the bottom or second from the bottom in every poll of the top 20 concerns of voters.......yes.........dead last!!! Check Pew, Gallup or Rasmussen.......carbon copy polls!!!

So what if you have to pay a couple more $ for a light bulb..........I laugh every time I have to buy one!!! The green k00ks can hang their hats on light bulb legislation as their success over the last 10 years!!!

 

[Freewill]

No, you did not. You CHOSE to do so!

Oh, you want him to be a democrat and live in the dark?

Sober up.

Chill out snowflake.

Yo Caribineer...........since you are on the EIA website.........can you pop up the graph for me of EIA projections for renewable energy out to 2040??!!

 

[Moonglow]

I've replaced most of my house with LEDs

7 watts vs 75 watts

I can see why conservatives are so pissed

Not only less heat dissipated..

very true, what's also true is that they are made in China and many contain hazardous materials. The LEDs do not contain hazardous stuff but are still made in China.

LED....CFL's are a hazard....

The poor and the majority of the lower middle class cannot afford LED's.

but they can afford many of the other things they have right?....and besides 5 years ago LED's were hardly even out yet.....give them time and they will be cheaper....

Actually those extras would depend on where you are located in the country, how much rent is, utilities, etc. We live on less than $500.00 a month for food and utilities there is no extra each month and I shuffle the bills from month to month to keep the services on. We also struggle to keep the taxes paid every year (they are behind this year so we will have to pay the 21% interest when we get to a point we can pay them). The place is paid for as we paid cash as we had the money when we bought it over twenty years ago. Wood heat, limited electric, no water bill but we have a well and collect rain water and we did not have our own Internet service or phone for years up until last Fall. No medical insurance. No house or fire insurance and if the car my son helped get last year breaks down we are stuck. If one of us gets sick we must depend on the natural remedies (the naturally growing yard and garden has some great resources for some things). So a $1.66 is out of the question as that would buy dish soap or some toilet paper and if we get lucky a few paper towels. Could all be better but we have seen worse since the fraud, business sabotage and all started here back in 2000. For several years we could not afford to leave here as the bank would file papers and the court was helping them cover their fraudulent tracks as they attempted to justify their fraud and theft so had to be here or miss their ten day response filings. Not that it did any good but the best effort we could do was put forth for as long as we could we did fight it through the years.

what do you use to post here?....

and they dont eat up no where near as much power.....my bill has decreased noticeably....

Thank the libs for the high cost of your fancy new light bulbs...

you can thank the LED makers who have made a bulb that lasts as long as 20 incandescents and uses a lot less power than those 20....
