Al Gore's not so bright idea

On Capitol Hill today, former Vice President Al Gore told Congressmen that they should enact a federal ban on light bulbs. Why? To combat global warming, of course. "Give industry time to deal with the change. They'll do it,'' said Gore.

If Al Gore really believes that light bulbs pose such a pressing threat to civilization, then why on Gaia's green Earth did he invent them in the first place?
