"Bright Idea" to Cut Taxes and Energy Usage

Desert Morning News, May 27th, 2007
"Does Buying New Bulbs Save You Bucks?"

Two conservative Utah House members want to give every Utah family $30 in a tax cut to purchase long-lasting light bulbs.

Reps. Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman, and Greg Hughes, R-Draper, say the $21 million cost of their energy-saving program would cut more than $200 million in electrical costs, which in turn would mean more money for state tax coffers.

I believe this is very innovative and forward thinking by the State.

We have a product that has taken off huge in the Far East. This has now been developed for the home market, payback is typically less than 12 months not to mention the reduction in carbon emissions and significant improvements in air quality.

Why would you use that money for a tax cut when you could advertise the necessity of longlasting lightbulbs?
