“New, ultra bright light bulb contains no pollutants”

A lone inventor, Alva T. Edistone demonstrated a new, elegantly simple, extremely bright light bulb based on electrical resistance.

While not as energy efficient as the standard CFL bulb, giving off more heat and having a shorter lifespan, these inexpensive new lamps are manufactured with little or no heavy metals or other noxious materials.

Composed of little more than Glass, Aluminum, perhaps a bit of Brass and Copper, a couple of inert gases and a miniscule amount of tungsten, the revolutionary new bulb, unlike the Mercury laden CFL lamp, costs pennies to manufacture and is 100% recyclable.As a bonus, if people choose to not recycle their bulbs, these new bulbs are harmless to the environment.

Environmentalists are expected to lobby Congress for a swift approval of the new bulbs, and an outright ban on the the dangerous, polluting, expensive CFL bulbs.
