face=3D"Arial"></font><font face=3D"Arial"></fon This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_CdJlihi1S3wS1suNYLhHrQ) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I wonder the same thing. I used to be involved with Clean NS when it first got off the ground as a volunteer and know the intentions were wonderful. I live quietly and so maybe miss some of the good being done but some aren't much of a success, IMHO. An example: we have had real poor luck with the extremely expensive "new" lights and even trying to get a refund has so far not worked. The old lights consistently last much longer overall. The heat from the older ones is a big plus in the winter here as we don't crank up the heating that high. The existing fixtures work, we like them so why replace them as has been suggested at several conversations with experts. We did replace some eventually now we are continually buying these new "guaranteed to last so many hours". If we are getting this percentage of bad bulbs we can't be the only ones......so maybe they aren't good. My eyes are driving me nuts as I can't see to read with the light they offer........ Another thing is all the seal your house so tight it makes you sick. Been there done that in the 70's and am still dealing with the consequences of that. New materials are suppose to be so much more healthy. How do we know that in 20 years we won't be going through another wave of ..." we should remove that... I wonder who owns what stock in which company. Maybe if people just took the problem seriously and tried to live with the idea we were rationed every day, we might be better off. Perhaps being brought up by parents who survived the depression wasn't such a bad thing. I Know a lot of people reading this are doing as much as we are trying to do and that is great. I applaud you. There are a lot of people who can't afford to even buy these new bulbs, upgrade their homes and all. It seems to me they are in the majority. I find it fascinating, with this place on the market, and us looking for a new home, what the realtors push as the ultimate to look for. I find it all very depressing actually. I am thinking we send a fact finding mission to Europe, places like Norway and find how they have done things. It might save us from reinventing the wheel. Stepping off the soap box now.......
