I think the CFLs will be replaced with LEDs.

I too can remember when the air quality here was many times worse than it is now, but it seems like those who are devout advocates of their position on global warming are very good at "doom and gloom". Now lets see if they have any solutions.

The USA was a pioneer in manufacturing when the effects of various emissions were practically unknown and there is a price involved with being the "pioneer", both good and bad.

Other countries also have the advantage, if you want to call it that, of coming to the show later in time. Lets hope they can learn from our experience and get to a level of prosperity without such a high cost.

That is where you could make a difference, but to expect them to tolerate draconian rules and regulations in the pursuit for clean air and relatively stable global temperatures, when we the USA, set such a poor example is rather arrogant from their perspective.

Cooperation and compromise don't mix well with arrogance and an inflated sense of self worth, a problem which seems to plague a small minority of members here.
