Will they bring back incandescent bulbs now?

Doesn’t matter. I have a lifetime supply.
And proper toilets?
Why would you want to do that with the advent of the LED? The CFL’s were not really worthy of consideration because of their ability to contaminate with mercury when broken. And now you can even get fluorescent tube replacements that are LED-based. LED’s now come in multiple color temperatures, are dimmable, and are even more energy efficient than CFLs. Now, a 75watt R-30 or R-40 LED bulb consumes about 11 watts and it lasts for 25,000 hours! The incandescent bulb now has a worthy replacement. We've re-lamped both our homes with LEDs and the reduction in energy use is noticeable.
I found the incandescent bulb ban to be not just stupid, but something the fed gov never ever should have gotten into. It’s one item that proves Bush was a closet lefty.
Now leaving it up to the states, I can see this. Where in warm states like southern Cal, the excess heat created by the bulb would be a detriment.
But in states where it’s cool most of the year, the heat byproduct of an incandescent bulb is a plus. I use a 60 watt bulb to heat the well house, just keep it above freezing.
And Primatine Mist?
