I think if the demand is here they should be made here, if we are going green as a nation than why not promote manufacturing of the green friendly products here, personally i think are manufacturing standards would lead to a better product than one created in a third world country by child and or prison labour, And doing so would discourage companies from such poor labour practices.

The next discussion in a few years will be over switching to LED. I'm sure there was a similiar discussion on switching from coal gas to electric. There was a big debate on AC or DC power. When LED's are able to be made in China for pennies they will be.

LED light bulbs at a good price

Looks like I found this discussion a few months late....anyway, with the Loon getting stronger anything bought south of the border is getting cheaper and cheaper. About the best prices I have seen on LED light bulbs is at www.shop.Donsgreenstore.com , Caution: no matter where you find them, compare the lumen ratings to give you an idea of how much light these things put out. LED light bulbs are still dim bulbs and you won't light up a room with just one or two of them. But the big lighting companies are racing to develope better bulbs, so it should only be a few years until they start to show up in regular stores.

I use four to light up my kitchen counter space. I much prefer to work under the close lighting of an LED than the over head any day. Give the kitchen a nice warm look too.

I've Just changed all my kitchen, bedroom and porch bulbs to LED light bulbs and I am really happy with the result. I can highly recommend it!
