And so it begins…
Going “green” causes problem for public works crews in West Bend
All of the snow we had this week formed a white cap on a lot of the traffic lights in West Bend. The old incandescent lights usually provided enough warmth to melt away those snow caps. But the new LED lights generate hardly any heat. Therefore, the snow stays and prevents drivers from seeing the signals.
The LED light problem led to a crash at the intersection of Westwood and Washington in West Bend.
“Yay” for unintended consequences!!!

This is why I think little of going away from incandescent bulbs: In the summer I don’t much need them, and in the winter I’m paying to heat the place one way or the other.

Quinn’s 1st Law, writ large. Libelaism/leftists always produce the exact OPPOSITE of their stated intent.
On another note, my motherinlaw got a new, high efficiency furnace a few years ago. The first winter her plumbing in the basement froze. Old furnace kept basement warm, new one, not so much. Have to run it more than old one, which she will not do, so I put an electric heater near the plumbing. Two heaters going, less efficient than the old dinosaur furnace.
Quinn’s 1st Law, its a persistent bitch!
