   	Smart meters were thought of before Obama and good   
   (high THC) cannabis can be grown outdoors or in greenhouses.   
   The energy from indoor bulbs does not have to be totally   
   wasted as it can used for heating a home.  In other words   
   you could replace your furnace with a small grow room.   
      
   	There are other problems with smart meters and the   
   consumers in the testing area in Central California are suing   
   Pacific Gas and Electric presently about excessively high billings.   
      
   	Incandescent bulbs have not been totally banned yet   
   and it may never happen as a few bulbs can heat an apartment   
   or small home.  Light and heat... what a miracle. ;^)   
   	As it warms up outside we can switch back to CFLs   
      
   	later
