Have you never heard of LED's? It is in many situations a perfect substitute for the bulb. And the low-energy-bulb is not that bad either. So support the ban and reduce energy consumption.

I would never put my trust in the market to solve the climate- and energy problems for current and future generations. Slowly solar and wind power becomes competititive - what a relief, isn't it? It is time to reduce the impact of the big oil companies....concerns of future generations is of none importance to them.

The jobs are make up jobs. Rubber room jobs where people actually work but produce a greatly reduced value, ergo the subsidy. Meanwhile, in the real world Qing-Bin Lu has proven CFCs caused all the warming and the world banned them in 1996 thus solving the warming problem. Global cooling began around 2002 spawning climategate. Lu's CFC explaination fits the data and CO2 does not. Check out Facebook page "Free CO2...the CFCs did it!" or just Google Lu. You'll be glad you did. Solar should not be subsidized. The jobs are make up jobs. Rubber room jobs where people actually work but produce a greatly reduced value, ergo the subsidy.

Solar thermal pre-heat will pay now in cold climates without subsidies.But if you want real cost-effectiveness, either put in a backyard garden, or else arrange some fans to blow summer air up into the house for cheap cooling. If you do the latter, be sure to use a dehumidifier. The ROI for these two is larger than any other investment we've made yet. Many think all solar is the same.

Are you seriously implying that utilities are market-based? In many states, they are highly regulated government-backed companies, sometimes having guaranteed returns by the state. Some policies are better than others, but acting like we should just strip away solar policies altogether is irresponsible.
