  - you're oversimplifying. there are bans on all or just inefficient bulbs getting ready to roll out in a number of countries. it's not made up. - colin Apr 30, 12:34 5
    - GE (Among other companies) already have incandescents that meet the higher standards. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 30, 12:37 4
      - you're intentionally missing my point. -- nm - colin Apr 30, 12:39 3
        
        Not really. The law doesn't say what you say it does, and the problems people are imagining are already solved. -- nm - Reagen Apr 30, 12:40 2
        
        there are many laws in many countries. are we limiting this argument to the US only? - colin Apr 30, 12:42 1
        
        I'm speaking of the US only, yes. - Reagen Apr 30, 12:46
