I'm not color blind and that screw doesn't look like a green grounding screw to me.
Believe me, it's as green as the wire. Adjust your monitor properly.
Make a proposal to the 2008 Code to require wires to be wrapped around screws in a clockwise direction or to require a green listed screw be used.
Not at all what I was talking about. I don't care which way the wire is wrapped and neither should the NEC (although it should be wrapped the other way).
What I'm saying is that section 250.8 is not complete and misleading.
The most common way to attach an equipment ground wire to a box is with a screw. Most times it is the only practical way. Section 250.8 prohibits sheet metal screws for this use and by implication allows a machine screw.
As I said, I don't think something like a machine screw can be listed and if it is the Code's intent to allow its use (as we all believe it is) 250.8 needs to be changed to clarify the intent. Even a FPN would do it.
