Even if they do save energy, what if we leave the lights on longer and use the same amount of power. Why not get the government out of the energy game and let the consumer worry about energy demand and let the market worry about the supply.

Where does the 7%/$85 figure come from? It seems hard to believe that the average U.S. household spends over $1,000 on light bulb costs (including electricity). Also, why is Rand Paul's statement so ridiculous? In one instance, the government fights for freedom of choice and in the other, limiting freedom of choice. How is that ridiculous?
