In the name of fighting pollution, China has sent the price of compact fluorescent light bulbs soaring in the United States.
By closing or nationalizing dozens of the producers of rare earth metals — which are used in energy-efficient bulbs and many other green-energy products — China is temporarily shutting down most of the industry and crimping the global supply of the vital resources.
Lesson to be learned, don't piss off China.
There are a lot of things to say about the light bulb standards, but handing China a monopoly on materials needed for a vital product was, well, stupid.
China - the assholes of the world
