| $100,000,000.00 will run the government for how many seconds? |

"The Air Force will install 2,800 compact fluorescent light bulbs, reducing electricity costs by $36,000 a year."
Somehow that just doesnt seem realistic. CF bulbs might use less energy but they cost more than incandescent, they have mercury inside them, they burn out quicker if the light is turned on and off frequently instead of left on for a few hours at a time, and there are many other downsides. Just replacing every bulb with a CF doesn't seem as budget friendly as they make it seem. |

No, it isn't, but G.E. and the rest of the financiers (Al Gore) of the Global Warming hoax will make lots 'o money... At the tax payers expense. 
Nothing about this is based on anything even remotely resembling reality or logic.
