LED lighting is getting installed all over the country. Seattle now has embarked on a program to replace all street lighting with LED lighting.....thanks to the stimulus program. Buy more CREE.....you should do very well.

It is being installed everywhere and it will be. Which is the reason I've had CREE for a while. But I have too much already to be buying more.

LED lighting was taking off well before the stimulus started. This is one of those things that should NEVER have been funded out of the stimulus. Just as was, frankly, the EMR systems in physicians offices (one the most liberal people I know was shocked tonight when I explained to her that the Obama stimulus bill is actually PAYING doctors offices to install EMR systems; she couldn't believe the money was going for that).

Both of these are wasteful government spending that my kids are going to be paying for for their entire working lives.

I've never seen anything like it.
