9 months out of the year the heat produced by incandescents is not wasted, but contributes to the heating of the home. The money and energy saved is wasted by raising your fuel oil and gas bills.
That’s true and in the summer months the days are much longer and bulbs aren’t used as much.
I use both, but if I need good lighting I get an incandescent. Outdoor lights that need to stay on a long time, I use the CFLs. Don’t have to change them nearly as often.
Choice. I don’t need the government me that they’re getting rid of adjustable wrenches because sockets are just so much better, getting rid of horses in favor of mules, or books in favor of kindles.
I actually prefer books, to be honest with you. And I like paperbacks over hardcover....much easier to hold in one hand while you drink coffee with the other. :>)
I can attest to that. I have to keep my heat really low - money - and bundle up good - but my lamp over my shoulder really does provide some warmth -
But, dang, I've been stockpiling in old style bulbs, hoping to cash in when the ban went into effect - selling “heat balls” ;o)

Exactly! I’ve been trying to tell people this, waste heat isn’t waste in the winter.
Much less leaving a light on near a water pipe or plant that might freeze in a cold snap.
Not if Florida.
