Very simply put if the fluorescent bulbs last 10 times longer than the incandescent, and sell at only 1/9 the rate of the incandescents, it'll take just a few years before they totally displace the incandescents.

The article says the 5% background sales level for the fluorescent bulbs could DOUBLE this year.

So, the elimination of the incandescent bulb can already be scheduled without the use of pesky nuisance laws as proposed by the Alpine gnome running California.

This mechanical engineer says that is absolute nonsense.

It is a case of the law trying to get ahead of the reality. Leftists like to believe that nothing useful gets accomplished unless liberals "cause" it to happen by enacting it into law.
