I realize I may be late to the party with this, but I just looked at Asay's website and he says that he taught in the public school system.

Just pause a moment and reflect on that. :psyduck:

Asay also said that he used to be more left-wing early in life. He became a conservative later on.

This is just making a stand against those drat hippies and their oppressive policies forcing us to use...superior bulbs?

The only way I can see this situation playing out is Edison murdering the government agent, stealing his CFL bulb and his time machine, then riding the time waves stealing inventions and bringing them back to 19th-century America to sell them for mad profits.

They're regularly on sale at my local grocery store for $0.49, and they're the instant on, slightly yellow ones, none of this takes forever to warm up and apparently the wrong shade of light that upsets people.

What I still don't know is, if the government hadn't stepped in, would bulb makers stop manufacturing incandescents eventually on their own, same as tube TVs?

It's not just that Edison's bulb shares little similarity with today's tungsten lamps, the best thing is just how annoyed Edison seems to be with his invention. "So many sleepless nights sunk into this little sucker, and it produces hardly any light. Should have focused on inventing the television instead."

I wonder if in early 20th century there were paranoid wackos rambling about the government taking their carbon filament away.

Ah yes, the amount of mercury that's less than what's in the coal that is (probably, unless you live near Hoover Dam or something) burned to power the energy difference for the other ones.

To be fair, the warning labels on CFL packaging can be a little frightening if you actually read them. I remember one of them saying that you had to open all the windows in your house if you broke a bulb, so the mercury vapors could air out.

The dumb thing about that trapped boat? The sea ice levels in 2013 were abnormally, inexplicably high--for the current trend of all-time record lows (the lowest set in 2012).

It's still well below ice levels seen the latter part of the 20th century.
