The U.S. government last year announced a $10 million award, known as the L Prize, for any manufacturer that could create a “green” but affordable light bulb. Well, the verdict is in and Phillips has won. (Oh, as a side-bar point, that corporations is a Dutch company. So much for keeping those so-called green manufacturing jobs totally here in the US. But, then again, I guess that is asking too much from our government.) Now, I do know the definition of "affordability;" however, I don't believe those in Washington do! But, then again, those are the same folks who brought to the American taxpayer Solyndra and the Chevy Volt. Ok, what is affordability to our government? That light bulb can be yours for the affordable price of $50. Yes, that is correct, and that is for "one" bulb, not a gross.
