just throw the CFL's in the trash like any other light bulb?

Now just why are no CFL's made in the USA?

How about Immelt (GE CEO) introducing a low energy bulb here in the USA?
Back in the days when GE as well as others, were in the business of manufacturing, they made sure there was always the next generation of product in the pipe line to continue the manufacturing of the product.
However, GE like a lot of others have taken the easy way out by sourcing the product from outside the USA and just tacking on their profit. No jobs in that exercise!!!!

How about GE commiting to manufacture CFLs here in the USA to protect the current jobs in their lighting businesses????

Saving energy and protecting jobs at home....what a novel concept!?!?!?!?!?
