There was a light bulb factory in the US that went out of business due to this law. But I can not recall the name of the company. I had bookmarked the story but did so on my last PC. Anyone remember the company name?
The factory was owned by General Electric and located in Winchester, Virginia.

Even if Congress reverses itself and permits traditional light bulbs, I can’t believe GE would reopen the factory. Most likely the manufacturing equipment has already been shipped to another country or scrapped.
