[Rhodes22-list] Issue of watts for side running lights, etc.

[Alan Robertson]

While I agree with your comment, as Dana implies the Rhodes mailing list is NO PLACE for political comment.

  Ed,

  In the future, please change the subject line to reflect your political additions to the discussion. "etc." doesn't cut it.

  Dana,

  Thank you for explaining to Art that you used comparable wattage.  Different
  manufacturers often put different wattage on the labels for essentially
  equivalent bulbs.  Sometimes there are patent or copyright issues that have
  to be waltzed around.  

  I would also point out that often a bulb is labeled 12 vdc and works fine in
  6 vdc or 32 vdc.  What gives?  At those low voltages there is not a
  significant difference, at least as concerned with its ability to function
  appropriately.

  Art,

  How about going down to a couple of auto parts stores and compare the bulbs
  under discussion as to wattage and price, you know, enlighten us.

  Now for some political comment:

  Al Gore is now auditioning for another award.  He is saying that the polar
  ice cap is melting, that we should not drill for oil, yada yada.  Al, I am
  sorry in 10 years there will still be a need for oil.  It is an ingredient
  for many plastics.  Some of those plastics cannot be made from the
  alternative plastic sources. 
   
  He has yet to show any pictures of the North Pole and Greenland in the years
  800 to 1000 A.D. when Greenland was Green.  Today we laugh at the name
  Greenland that the Vikings called the country.  However, as the glaciers
  retreat, they keep finding stone farm houses and barns under the retreating
  glaciers.  

  Al, is it possible that in 800 to 1000 A.D. Greenland was called such
  because it was green?  Has he shown that during that time there was an ice
  cover over the present location of the North Pole?  Al Gore is an arrogant
  dumb ass who does a disservice to us all.
