We need more politicians like him.
POE-TIQUETTE.
I enjoyed the message and the messenger. However (unless he runs for National office) the only way you can exercise your support would be to move to Texas. Kind of drastic!
Jane and I bought rental property in El Paso
(purely for investment purposes) and the prevailing local politics are quite distinct
and refreshing.
I’d like to pull myself out of this current career morass (dead-calm) and feel the need to augment my traditional skills by learning the trades of the new. I get absolutely zero (worthwhile) counsel when I ask others for solid actionable next-steps. Thought you might be a worthy resource?
Thanks!

I’ll vote for him!
I live in a solar powered home and when I retrofitted my home to run compltely on solar power the first thing I did was replace EVERY light bulb in my home with an flouresent bulbs even though, ten years ago they were $20.00 each. In 10 years I have not replace ONE of these bulbs. In a solar home you have meter on the wall that tells you exactly how much power you use and as an experiement we placed an conventional “hot” bulb in a lamp and watched the meter rocket up when it was turned on, then we turned that bulb off and turned on all 20 other lights in the house and the power useage was the same. Once you see the waste in the “old” style bulbs it seems obscene to use them when there is such a better alternative. Railing on about how hard it may be to clean up when is sully, when was the last time you broke a bulb, inmy 49 years on this planet I have NEVER broken a bulb. As far as only the bulbs only being made in China, thats not China’s fault its ours and if there aren’t a dozen manaufacturers of these new bulbs in operation in the US by 2014 when the law goes inot effect then I’ll eat my hat or build a light bulb factory.
Yes we do need a comprehensive energy plan but railing against such a simple adjustment is simple minded. Have you seen the commercial that shows that if every house in the US replaced just one light bulb in their house we could shut down a nuclear power plant? Imagine if every light was replaced.
PS> I just bought 3 of these new bulbs for $8.00, so the cost is now approaching that of the conventional bulb, which usually last about a year max, so lets see, same price, last 10 times as long and we can shut down how many nuclear plants? Seems like a no brainer to me.
PSS. I have wireless internet, cell phones and LCD TV’s and have never seen any interference from yusing these bulbs.
Party on.
