			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>US Representative Ted Poe reads us a bedtime story. </p>
<p>Part 1 is the text of the law Congress has passed that mandates we replace incandescent lightbulbs for compact fluorescents by 2014. </p>
<p>For Part 2, he reads from the EPA requirements for disposing of CFLs &#8212; including how to handle broken bulbs. </p>
<p>Oh, and Poe mentions that the U.S. doesn&#8217;t manufacture these bulbs. China does. &#8220;We import every one of these things.&#8221; </p>
<p>So Congress has mandated that, four years from now, we will all be completely dependent on an overseas source for our home lighting. </p>
