of course Obama is jubliant the prices are going up and he thinks the companies will absorb that. He just hasn’t figured out yet that the price increase is passed on to the consumer. It’s that whole trickle down economics he poo poo’d before. I’m lovin the change………………………..

Thanks for the offer, but, I enjoy the flushing. Or, at least the idea that I am defeating the whole purpose of the damn things.

John,

I have two older toilets, they’re kind of a light powder blue large tank commodes if you’re interested. I was going to put them on e-Bay. My main shitter is still a large tank older model and I have no plans on getting rid of it.

I’ll figure out a way around this just like the ten flushes I now do during a dump into my low-flow toilet.

How about doing an “end-around” them ALL, and maybe go with….(wait for it)….LEDs???
…cooler, greener, longer-lasting, probably cheaper (now), and NO hazmat guys taping off the bedrooms when it breaks.

(whatta novel idea, Bob)
I just wish Billy Mays were still alive to SELL that idea!

I foresee a huge new market in glass globes and spools of coiled tungsten wire. The Ronco home bulb-maker is not far away.

…Of course it’s bullshit…ALL of it.

And even “if” WE here in America DID save all that much money (which is one of the best falsehoods I’ve heard in some time), OTHER nations like CHINA and INDIA will no doubt DOUBLE their emissions, making OUR “savings” relatively null & void.

What a colossal load of crap!

I’m not sure who’s running the DEP in Maine but they are obviously idiots. One does not need a special environmental cleanup crew for a broken CFL…

Brandy Bridges lives in Maine, the state represented by the two “turncoat” Republican Senators, Snowe & Collins, who are a disgrace to conservative Republicans.

Why does it not suprise me that Brandy got no help from these two senators – by their votes on the fiscal programs of the Obama administration, they exhibited their total disregard for those that they represent in their state!

“He claims that between 2012 and 2042 it will save us up to $4 billion annually and that’s enough to power every U.S. home for 10 months.”

That statement is very misleading. When I read it, because it referenced the amount saved per year, I assumed he was saying it would power all the homes for ten months of each year.

However, after doing the calcualtions I realize that he is actually saying it will power ten months over the entire duration of the thirty year span he referenced. That means each houshould will save a little less than 3% off their electric bill.

Perhaps after all the hidden costs (such as that referenced above) are considered this will still be a net positive, but certainly nothing worth bragging over.
