The new bulbs will also be expensive -- about $50 each -- so the development may not prevent consumers from hoarding traditional bulbs.

I’ve been stockpiling them for years. I currently have enough incandescants to light my house for the next five years. I’d have more but my husband wouldn’t let me rent a storage room to keep the others in.

The Federal Government by Constitutional Law cannot MAKE you buy anything....FIGHT BACK...find and buy as many of the "energy B.S.guzzling" 100-watt light bulbs you can find and stock pile them...China is the winner here....American jobs are lost once again. Remember when congress decided to make our toilets more "efficient" so you have to flush them three times to completely empty the waste? Remember the water efficient Washing Machines that require you to wash longer and use more rinses? Now the soap has been re leaved of real cleaning power....new shower heads produce less water so it takes longer to get the soap out of hair....electric cars cost far more to recharge, running up the home electric bill.

It is government that is the problem and people too stupid and/or lazy to think for themselves.
