"I was responding to the $30.00 price claim "

I was not claiming anything. I was assuming Freepers had a sense of humor.

However, Congress will not lift the ban to accommodate this product if the profit margin is not high enough. I used to buy bulbs for 4/$1.00. I don't expect a new version anywhere near that price.

It was not efficiency or the environment, it was profit margins too low for GE, Westinghouse and Sylvania to compete with Chinese imports.

They don't have to be 4 for a dollar, they just have to be competitive with the competition. They do not have to be made here in fact probably won't be.

" they just have to be competitive"

Higher prices are still higher prices. Crony capitalism is still crony capitalism.

I have to admit I have no clue what you are trying to say. I just pointed out that the article claimed the new Incandescent bulb would not cost $30.00 and I don't give cr@p who builds it or even if it ever gets built.
