Well that's the thing Pitboss.

Normal people are NOT going to pay $2,000 to dispose of a light bulb when they can just throw it in their trash. From there it (and the millions others are throwing away) will go to the local landfill creating a Superfund hazardous waste site. Then the VERY SAME dirt people who MANDATED these bulbs will be up in arms BLAMING the millions of "polluters" that they THEMSELVES created!!!!

If you don't believe me look at BATTERIES! You are not supposed to throw batteries into the trash. And yet I don't personally know ANYONE who doesn't!!!!
