When the government forces us to pay $6 for a 50 cent light bulb, then even a $5 bulb looks like a bargain.

There's a reason they didn't make a $5 incandescent bulb before. No one in their right mind would buy it.

Unless they can figure out a way to make this thing last a lot longer than the conventional bulbs do I'd suspect it will never pay for itself simply by energy savings.

Hey, maybe we can get the taxpayers to give em a subsidy to make it more affordable. The taxpayers will go along with it, there are allot of very gullible suckers out there when it comes to expensive crap with a geen label.
