During the Obama administration, government decided the way to reduce climate emissions was not to build nuclear plants or something sure to work, it was to mandate and subsidize...CFL bulbs.

That's right, the fluorescent lights that everyone had hated for decades were now going to be given to everyone at reduced cost - while everyone also paid higher utility bills to pay for the bulbs they didn't want but were told they needed to get because incandescent bulbs were being banned.

It was an idea only government could come up with and think it was smart science or economics.



Today, everyone uses LEDs. They are better in every single way and if you break one, you won't need to put on a haz-mat suit and pray your kids are safe.
