Let there be light . . . in Germany

Genesis Chapter 1:

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And then came the European Union, which said the light was too bright and too wasteful.

A year ago, the European Union banned 100-watt light bulbs because the European Union believes that it should be illegal to produce that much light. They believe that 100-watt incandescent light bulbs are inefficient and therefore should be illegal.

But a couple of German mechanical engineers and entrepreneurs have come up with a legal way to import and distribute 75 and 100-watt light bulbs—call them “small heating devicesâ€

people have also been stocking up for months before the ban ..

Please call and email to support the efforts of those trying to reverse this ban on the incandescent bulb. Representative Marsha Blackburn and others are trying to give freedom of choice in bulb buying.

Psalm 139:14

I have been stocking up on light bulbs for a couple of months now. I refuse to use those unsafe, bad for the invironment, bulbs they are trying to make us use.
