$120 for one Geo Bulb????? |
|
WTF!!!!
Are you kidding me.....
Just saw on MSNBC a bulb being sold for $120 just to save on energy, this is extortion, how would you expect people to save on energy? when they are already paying high price just to save on energy.
I thought the idea is to reduce cost and save at the same time, didn't someone explained it to these folks.
$120 for 1 Geo Bulb
:rofl:

4. There is no way that product cost anywhere near $120 to manufacture. |
|
So by charging that much for it, and allowing the purchaser to write it off on taxes, isn't this a form of corporate welfare?

2. Toyota lost money for years on the Prius |

Mass production yields savings eventually.
CFLs used to cost nearly $20. Now I can buy twenty for that price.
