First Energy to Defend Light Bulb Blunder

Why is First Energy allowed to put a boot on the necks of its customers and the lawmakers allow this mess for a bulb that 1. is way over priced 2. The light it generates actually you would need 3 or more for sufficent lighing of a room, and 3. Has the potential to becoming a toxic night mare if it was ever broken. What land fill do you want to put all this mercury in from these bulbs. Who the hell is First Energy to force the public to pay for its assumtions. Im a single father of 3 kids im disabled. I live in a house built in 1900. The wiring in this home im renting was installed somewhere between world war two and korea. This home I rent will never be energy efficent until its torn down. 6 toxic bulbs isnt gonna make a dang bit of difference here. Then they have the audacity to charge me for a program so they can generate more revenue (more like profit to the stock holders). I didnt realize that First Energy was run by a Tyrant. First Energy can keep their bulbs and their inflated prices and pray that the state lawmakers brakes up that little monopoly and throw the collective tyrants out on their butts. Dont TREAD ON ME First Energy.

The Energy Bill recently passed should be repealed. This was a "feel good" measure that lawmakers used to grandstand their green credentials. However beneath the thin veneer the legislation is packed with protection for utility monopolies that ensures their revenue stream stays at least level while users get more efficient. In short, we'll pay MORE for using LESS.

How could they defend this plan?? Do they think we are all stupid?? They are just trying to penalize the consumer for finding a way to off set their outrages pricing for something that the consumers can't live with out. If the State regulators let this pass then we know that are just as dimwitted as them and don't care about the people who are just getting by in this messed up economy...

Funny thing is, I just bought a 6-pack of these bulbs; of course, not name brand, but I have been using the same brand for two years with no complaints. I only paid $8 and some change for the entire 6-pack. How can they warrant the price they want to charge us; let alone charge us because they will be losing money by our using them! What a bunch of b*llsh*t! I hope the gonvernment shuts this so called program down! But, then FirstEnergy will turn around and raise our costs because they wasted money on a program that is no good!
