79: Something is Amiss in Gitmo and Crackpot Nations
Energy Identity, Carbon Footprints, Light Bulb Regulations
The concept of "energy identity" and tracking individual carbon footprints is discussed as a new form of social accountability. The hosts complain about the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs in favor of "mercury-filled" energy-efficient bulbs that often have automated shut-off features. They argue these regulations remove consumer choice and introduce environmental hazards under the guise of green policy.
