These kinds of central planning schemes always ruin business and cause suffering wherever they are allowed to persist. I say dangerous and inferior because they contain mercury and are terrible to manufacture and dispose of. Also, they produce an inferior light shown by research to disrupt learning and aggravate conditions like autism, sensory integration disorders, depression, etc. Edison would deplore the government meddling with business and science that forces inferior and dangerous products like compact flourescents on consumers for purely political reasons.

I can relate to these kinds of quotes in particular. Any time I feel like giving up on something, I remind myself that giving up results in instant failure. Thanks Steve!

I just thought it was interesting that Edison predicted the use of technology to develop weapons of mass destruction - a concept beyond the scope of imagination for most people living at that time.
