There are more problems than those brought up in that video

For example: My wife is one of those who can see the flicker. So fluorescent lights of any kind drive her batty. That includes CFLs, apparently. I tried putting them in. She couldn't stand them.

Our house has X-10 controls all over the place. The ones on all the incandescent lights are all light (dimmer) modules. They won't work on CFLs. So are we to sacrifice all that automation (which, btw, allows us to conserve energy) on the alter of CFLs? I'm thinkin' I'm not likely to do that.

No balls. Congressman Poe should have dropped the bulb and let it break. Only one of two things could have happened; they'd have had to either evacuate the House chamber or admit the EPA are asses. Lastly they might have said, what a stupid law.

Only if he made it look accidental otherwise he probably would have been arrested as a Terrorist...
