This is pretty funny:

Compact fluorescent lamps are an existing technology that currently exceed the EISA 2007 requirements for lumens per watt. Another lesser known existing technology that also meets the minimum EISA requirements is energy efficient halogen bulbs (see below). Representative Ted Poe contends that the United States Constitution does not give the federal government the power to determine what light bulbs people are allowed to use. EPA recommendations state that compact fluorescent light bulbs should be recycled due to their mercury content. The EPA provides recommendatons for cleaning up broken compact fluorescent light bulbs, including opening windows for ventilation to clear mercury vapor from the room and shutting off forced-air heating and cooling systems until the cleanup is complete.
