You are again forgetting to learn the facts and numbers. A symptom of junk science reasoning.
Which puts more mercury into the environment? Incandescent bulbs. That one is a no brainer. But is not found where subjective reasoning is promoted in sound bytes. I leave it to you to either provide the facts and numbers. Or ask to learn rather then tell us what junk science says.
GE was opposed to the high efficiency light bulbs - completely opposite of what you have been told to believe. Please learn facts before 'knowing'. GE had demonstrated the technology in 1975. And refused to implement it. GE now finds itself playing catchup. Most of the new technology light bulbs are made in China - where people would rather innovate. Once a characteristic of Americans before knowledge only came from sound bytes.
Wal-Mart discovered GE was stifling technology. So Wal-Mart told GE to provide those clearly superior bulbs. GE said they would slowly implement them. Not good enough. Wal-Mart invited all other companies to replace GE as a primary supplier. Only then did GE decide to get serious about finally implementing their 1975 product.
Wal-Mart also asked Home Depot to join them in advancing mankind. But Home Depot, then, was being run into the ground by another anti-American named Nardelli. Nardelli also could not see any value in innovation - and refused.
You know Nardelli by his anti-American thinking. After being paid $200million to leave Home Depot (they had to save the company), he then took over Chrysler. And ran that into the ground. Did what anti-Americans do. Cost control. Stifle innovation.
You advocate hate of innovation - the only thing that every great American does. And you would not know that. Your posts are based in sound bytes reasoning. Lies that exist only when technical facts and numbers are ignored. See how much it took to explain reality misrepresented in those two sentences? Only patriotic Americans learn this stuff before having an opinion. Due to sound byte reasoning, you must love Nardelli. His reasons are so similar to yours.
GE did everything they could not maximize profits at the expense of all Americans. Those informed only by soundbytes would not know that. Therefore another industry that should have been dominated by America is now in Chinese hands. Anti-Americans will blame everyone - and not their own thinking - for those job losses.
You make a valid complaint about whether government should ban crappy technology that could have been eliminated 20 years ago. In theory, American industry should want to innovate. So why did GE refuse to make those light bulbs for over 35 years? We do have a serious problem. Some industries conspire to keep superior products out of the market.
Example: The radial tire arrived in 1975. Why was the radial tire routinely sold all over the world starting in 1948? Kept out of American until 1975 - long after it was standard all over the world? There is no magic philosophy that explains everything. You must learn details and numbers - or be extremist dumb. By assuming a magic philosophy, you are literally insulting all others with the resulting diatribe. Are so divorced from the details and numbers as to not even know you are insulting.
Meanwhile Uniroyal, Goodrich, Firestone, Goodyear, and so many other American tire companies. Which one is still American? Goodyear. All others so hated innovation - conspired to keep radial tires out of America - so to be sold to foreigners. So many American tire companies fired Americans only because, like GE, they conspired to stifle innovation. To enrich American management even after they destroyed American jobs. Your sound bytes simply ignore hard facts and numbers. And the #1 reason why American jobs are lost.
But you would not know this. Soundbytes even back in 1975 blamed everyone but America's greatest enemies. A majority then recited those soundbytes. It is called brainwashing. You are doing same. Your citation insults me because you clearly have no idea what it says. Some political agenda has told you how to think - brainwashing. With sufficient knowledge, then you summarized the key points and numbers. You don't. And do not even realize how insulting you are being.
The cigarette industry proved that cigarettes increase health. Using soundbytes, most Americans knew it must be true. When challenged to prove it in court, they simply dumped millions of pages of documents. You are using the same insulting logic. Dumping reams of URLs without any idea what any of them say.
Prove me wrong. Post as any better educated persons does - with the reasons why and numbers. You never do.
Meanwhile, there is virtually no valid research that denies global warming. There are some theories such as the Atlantic Oscillatory Effect. You get respest when you cite such basic science with numbers. You don't and you can't. Meanwhile those who pioneered and championed that theory now say it was completely wrong. Now agree that mankind is creating global warming. Because the science that say so is overwhelming. And is mostly denied only by those brainwashed by subjective spin and soundbytes - and no numbers.
You post subjectively. That is insulting. You only assumed GE wanted the new light bulbs. A conspiracy attitude demanded it. You could not bother to first learn facts - GE was stifling the technology for 35 years. Had you bothered to first learn facts, then "brainwashing by soundbyte" would not be possible. But you never bothered to first learn. Nor demand numbers. Numbers. 35+ years ago.
> And the pusher for this law was/is GE.
Because that is how brainwashing works. Knowledge because one feels it must be true. No daming questions. No first learning the details. And no numbers. Brainwashing by soundbyte.
