Job Losses Foreseeable

Job Losses Foreseeable
H. Sterling Burnett, a senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis, says people should not be surprised by job losses caused by environmental mandates such as the ban on incandescent light bulbs.

"The claim that the unemployment caused by federal policies forcing CFL light bulbs on the public was an 'unintended consequence' would be laughable if the job losses weren't so unfortunate,Countertops are areas where food preparation is often done. These are often illuminated with shallow supplyforyou fluorescent fixtures that are attached to the cabinet's underside." explained Burnett. "They may have been unintended,Like this, you can set led light a mood or read a book or sew with great ease. Remember that lots of lighting sources are necessary within any room. but they were perfectly predictable. China has long dominated the CFL market, and even before Congress stepped in and basically banned incandescent light bulbs, manufacturing for CFLs was already moving overseas."

Doubling down on the job-killing green mandates contained in the 2007 energy bill, "The Obama administration has repeatedly thrown billions of dollars in subsidies to 'green technologies' that can't compete in the marketplace, are higher priced and thus aren't chosen by most consumers when they vote with their pocketbooks, don't function as well,Now, we all know that a typical diode can output a very limited amount of light, so how does our Phillips chauvet dj lighting work? Well, it finds strength in numbers. and are manufactured overseas," said Burnett.

Illusory Energy Savings
Sam Kazman, general counsel for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, pointed out banning incandescent light bulbs does not necessarily bring environmental benefits. In 1987 the town of Traer, Iowa handed out 18,000 free fluorescent bulbs to its residents in a demonstration project aimed at reducing power consumption, Kazman noted. Residential electricity use actually rose by 8 percent, because people used more lights and kept them on longer, once they realized their lighting was cheaper.

"This is yet another demonstration that technologies that utilize energy more efficiently often result in more energy use rather than less, because the energy becomes more useful. When these technologies are developed in a free market, everyone gains. But when they're forced on people by legal mandate,Any type of muscle pain, stiffness is relieved deck lighting with the warm heat therapy from the traditional sauna. The heat from the sauna will increase blood flow to the joints and muscles too. Diabetic patients often have this problem with diabetic neuropathy in the feet and hands, so this is good for their circulation. then the outcomes are somewhat different," Kazman said.Ensuring that the low voltage downlight compact fluorescent fits in with the style and decor of the rest of the room is very important and in years gone by, this would not have been possible.

He added, "Some people may be pleased, but many others are left dissatisfied, while reductions in energy consumption are far less than predicted and in some cases nonexistent."

"If the new energy-saving technologies being pushed by government are really that good, then we don't need government to mandate them. And if they are being mandated, that's a sure sign that they're not very good," Kazman observed.
