Do you have any evidence of property crime going up due to different
bulbs? Please show your work.
Duh!!!
The law hasn't gone into effect yet.
The new bulbs are not yet mandatory, so they are not
used for that purpose.
So you are speculating that property crime will rise dramatically
because of FLs.
Speaking of "Duh!" LOL!
They don't work with dimmers.
Some do:

they expend more energy to produce than they save over the projected
life.
Really? That makes no sense:
An ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) will
save about $30 over its lifetime and pay for itself in about 6 months.
It uses 75 percent less energy and lasts about 10 times longer than an
incandescent bulb.

I think you're using bad/outdated information. Did you get it from one
of 2pid's blogs?
Whoever makes them pays for the energy to make them as well as the
components, equipment, marketing, *etc. It used to be that you took
your cost and multipiled by five to approximate a retail price. I'm
not sure if that's still current. Whoever makes them is making money
on them.
In any event, I find it hard to believe that all of these people say
something other than what you say and I can find nothing which
supports your claim. If you have something, let's see it.
Will it have governmental costs that will increase taxes?
Will it be like the supposed energy saving lightbulbs, which
take more extra energy to produce than what they save?
BZZZT.
You want to be an environmentalist, fine with
me, but get SMART about and don't
fall for glosssy superficial hype.
Ask better questions.
there was nothing wrong with those, except that
\they are too difficult for you to answer, you being
a relatviely simplistic non-thinker.
No, it's just that the correct answers aren't what you thought they
were, being an ossified old codger who seems to frequently post while
drinking.
Here are the answers to the myths and misinformation you propagate
(Um, speaking of "simplistic non-thinker'):
