Energy Quote of the Day

From Energy Secretary Stephen Chu, defending the law which bans the 100 watt incandescent bulb:
"We are taking away a choice that continues to let people waste their own money."
I thought liberals were all about being "pro-choice"?

What business is it of the Energy Secretary, or any other member of the government, how Americans choose to spend their money? It's our money, and I guarantee you many people don't think incandescent bulbs are a "waste"...not if you want to see when you turn on a light. Rather than spend more per bulb for curly fry lights that take time to come to full power and bathe everything in weird tones, some people "choose" to see things the way they like to.

That used to be the American way.

Don't miss Mark Steyn's take on Chu's comments.

It's OK if government wastes our money, but not if WE want to waste our own money.

Arrogant little prig, which pretty much sums up the Democrats.

Watch Chu's head explode when someone tells him about NASCAR.
