They're 9 watt LEDs. |

And there are some that put out 430 lumens at 7.5 watts with a color temp of 3000K which appear to shine prighter than a 40W incand. and much brighter than a 13W CFL. Unfortunately they are hecho in China like everything else. Unions put America out of business. -- 1-20-13 The end of an error |

Here is the statement followed by YOUR request: Besides, a lot of the green applications save money and resources. I actually like to save money, so I don't see the problem. Show me one... Again, I've shown you several. I can't understand why any thinking adult would be against new technology to save money and the planet and get us away from oil. Me either... And of course I am not for the government spending billions to pay back campaign donors in the name of green investment either... |

Pfffttt, we did more this morning than you did your entire time pushing a broom at the crown corp... You don't even have the ambition to clean the pig stye you raised your family in, I doubt you do any of your own work on appliances so really, if you have nothing to add, go back to getting drunk with your useless kid.... |

Huh? whadda you know? Tim surely you're not using this to suggest that global warming isn't happening, are you? I dunno. I'd always thought that glaciers and giant ice shelves were melting away because the earth was getting warmer, then you hear about a massive chunk of ice forming and.... I know we had a decent frost last night, but it's November, we're supposed to have a decent frost last night. I assume you like somewhere in the middle of the country and are completely unaware of the weird weather most of the country has been expeiencing the past year. Are you aware of the spike in tornados? So far weather has been changing for 4.5 billion years and this year was mild by comparison. And the predictions from the sane say the same thing is in store for the next 4.5 billion years. Are you saying the ending of the ice age was caused by man? Oh, the shame of it all. He probably is, but I don't know anybody else that is sane or without a monetary interest saying that global warming is CAUSED by man. OTOH, I think there are a lot of reasons to believe that man CONTRIBUTES to global warming. But how much, and to what end... The world has been hotter and colder than now, it has changed faster than it is changing now, and it will probably stay in the long run, pretty similar to what it is now... The world has a great climate control system in the whole spinning thing. Too much heat will make for more hurricaines which take a tremendous amount of heat energy and spin it out to the poles where it can dissipate. If the world gets warmer, more hurricnes, if the world gets colder, less hurricanes, pretty simple really. I think the world has things under control and it is doing what it does, just fine. More hurricanes means something maybe us, maybe the sun, maybe both are doing what they do to the earth. The earth will respond and balance things out like it's been doing for 4 billion years... The concern is a potential for a tipping point. The ramifications of that are truly scary. Besides, a lot of the green applications save money and resources. I actually like to save money, so I don't see the problem. Show me one... Forget the silly carbon credit stuff. That's just crap. LED lightbulbs. Insulation Carpools Vegetable and fruit gardens Fuel efficient cars sealing your home to lower heating and cooling costs Making your own green cleaning products Using the library as opposed to buying books Irrigating with rain water Stand-by power strips Paperless billing and online bill pay If you need more, hit me up! Lowes had 40W LED bulbs on sale last week for $10 They seem to have the brightness of 60W I bought 20 of them. What are stand by power strips? Those things are made by slave labor in China, polluting the environment worse than a lot of other technology, and through practical experience I can tell you, they don't actually last that much longer than regular bulbs in frequent service on and off cycles like in the bathroom. They are great for the attic or basement or other places but I hate changing them so often, it's nerve wracking... They don't pollute any more than a standard light bulb. Where did you get that idea? And they last about 25 TIMES longer. Bull****. I use them in our home for years and they might last twice as long, but rarely.. I've had them in my home for four or five years and haven't replaced one YET. You are getting CFL's mixed up with LEDs Yeah, but you guys were talking about led's I never mentioned them... |
