I really hope this is an 'across the board' banning of incandescents }:-)

Just so I can watch all the car manufactures try to figure out how to retrofit (or even make) compact flourescent that are bright enough and actually fit into the billion little places where incandescent bulbs are in a car!

They wouldn't make such a stupid bill without recoginizing the non-household uses if incandescent, would they?

and for the record - I like CFLs and use them when ever I can in the house. They have gotten much better/brighter in recent years.

This is going to sound really shallow but fluorescent lighting, presently found in laundromats and bus stations, is EXTREMELY unflattering light to be seen in. I won't have it in the house. There must be a better way to save energy and resources than this...and BTW, I don't appreciate the condescending remark of this Levine jerk that consumers will buy whatever's in front of them that's cheapest, and are incapable of understanding value for money. Liberal elitist dork.

NEVER underestimate the stupidity of a professional politician.

The amazing thing to me is that, even though you (and probably all FReepers) are against this bill, you implicitly accept the premise that the legislature has the right to involve itself in such matters.
