Another shock me here.
From one of the New York Times' "Room for Debate" set of mini-columns on a subject, we get one that doesn't really even deserve such space, namely the wingnut conspiracy theories over compact fluorescent lights and the GOP Congressional wingnuts' attempt ot roll back the mandated phase-out of current incandescent bulbs.
And, gives in doubly. One writer is from Cato, and another from the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Leave it to pseudo-free market rationalist Cato to compare apples and oranges with European and American energy costs without talking about hidden American costs.
Ditto for someone from the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
And, the Times will either be stupid enough or arrogant enough to put this behind the metered paywall.
Update: Ron Brownstein at National Journal agrees about hidden energy costs.
