Just some interesting bit of information. It's funny how sometimes when we try to forge ahead on our own and attempt to declare independence, we find ourselves ever more reliant.
Fun fact -- Incandescent bulbs are functionally obsolete. They are made in America. Compact Fluorescent bulbs (CFL's), those tubey looking bulbs that are replacing them are far far more efficient. They are also mostly made in China.
And while we're on all of this, when will people figure the hell out that it doesn't matter whether the car is powered by gas, electricity, or some combination of the two when the power source for the electricity also produces carbon emissions (this would also include coal, oil, and other fossil fuels). It's a lovely thought, it really is. It's just out of sight, out of mind, really. Not to mention the batteries that hold all this power are highly toxic (so are cfl's now that I think about it).
