fishy behind the scenes that pushed it. Like it wasn't really about saving energy. Because we've blown energy demand out the fuckin ass with every fucking little thing having to be rechargeable, bitcoins and AI shit, and there's no restrictions even considered the teensiest bit

AI data centers, plug in cars. None of it would matter if we had modern nuclear.

I thought there was a trade off between lifespan and how bright the bulb could be.
Diamonds are definitely artificially expensive though, and they mostly come from South Africa. People should stop buying them for ethical reasons honestly, but we have a silly culture that you have to wear a real diamond even though 99% of the population wouldn’t know the difference between a real diamond and a piece of glass carved in the shape od a diamond.

I run incandescent in my lamps downstairs for heat in the winter. Soft white 60 watters are harder to find but you can still find specialty or appliance bulbs easy enough 8). I switch back to LED in the spring.

It is outlawed because Millennials find the word "incandescent" antiquated.

As long the demands stands (via sales) for natural diamonds, the producers will continue to push for mining efforts. Thing is though I believe its slowly on its way to being obsolete anyway in about 15-20 years. Considering nowdays industrial-grade diamonds made in the labs put the kibosh on that industry and china accounts for about 90% of its production.

The French have very advanced nuclear plant tech.

I don't understand the cfl transition. I get the led lights, which actually created headaches for industries reliant on heat sensors. But CFLs were an unnecessary anomally. There was nothing to digitize. There were minor improvements in small florescents, t-5 t-8, and coatings. They really should bring back more sodium and metal halide productions though.

IoT devices are pushed to gather ever more data on you as a person. Thats literally all there is to it. how you move around in your house and even map out your home if you got enough of them(likely using your phone and or tablet to verify the data), CFLs in particular can be used to study when you have those lights on, how often you use that particular room, how much electricity you use, etc.
The most obvious usage of this data would be to help police/glowniggers plan out any surprise raids, but there might be some fuckery the insurance companies can do with CFL data aswell.
