I stocked up on 25 thru 100 Watt incandescent bulbs last year. Going to get some more 100s tomorrow if they still have them on the shelf.

[cripplecreek]

I’m getting a lot of crappy incandescent bulbs lately. Apparently they’re end of run bulbs.

[Adder]

I bought them and I don’t even need them particularly...the ones no one mentions are the 3 ways...if they have a level over 100 will they be illegal too? don’t know but I have been stocking up.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Will they still be sold in Mexico and Canada? If so, will there be a light bulb cartel shipping illegal bulbs north to sell on city corners and in flea markets?

Why not repackage them as a heating element with this warning..

WARNING: It is a violation of FEDERAL LAW to use this 100 Watt heating element (formerly known as a 100 Watt light bulb) as a light bulb.

For over a year have made it a habit to buy a couple packages of 60w, 75w and 100w when we visit Lowes/Home Depot or, WalMart. We have a whole closet full of the suckers.

[Captain7seas]

They took away the gold from American’s and then they took away their damn lightbulbs. The only sound heard from the home of the brave was...Baaaaaaaaa, Baaaaaaaaa

[mo]

I’ll settle for some wall-mart special 93w bulbs....

[Will88]

I’ve wondered about the details of this phaseout after thre 100W in 2012. According to Wiki, other single wattage incandescents will phase out through 2014, ending with the 40W bulb.

Apparently, 3-way bulbs will not be phased out, along with appliance bulbs and some other specialty bulbs, if Wiki is correct.

a design not bettered in a hundred + years. so good it had to be stopped by legislation.

Not unlike the internal combustion engine.

What is it these morons against anything good and Holy?

[the invisib1e hand]

If Edison were alive, he’d shrug.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

I have yet to buy a CFL yet, so I know nothing about them. Considering my stock of incandescents, I may never know.

[BulletBobCo]

How about producing a 101 watt incandescent bulb?

[lephantom]

Heil Holidays!

[fight_truth_decay]

Is a ban on incandescent light bulbs really coming to the United States? Technically speaking, no, an incandescent light ban is not about to take place.

On January 1, 2012, the light bulb police will NOT come and haul you away if you light your home with 100 watters. It won’t even be illegal to buy or sell them.

But it WILL be illegal to manufacture 100 watt incandescent bulbs in - or import said light bulbs into - the United States as of that date.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Boehner shares in the blame...he set up that bogus vote to overturn the ban..

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

If it’s -10 degrees outside does my 100 w incandescent lightbulb in my kitchen really waste that much energy?

[Inyo-Mono]

BTTT.

[faucetman]

Who cares. Good riddance to the biggest waster of energy on the planet. Myself I would have left them to “wither on the vine” instead of outlawing them. Like the 1.6 gpf toilets, CFLs will improve over time and the energy saved will be dramatic, just as the water consumption and water pollution was reduced dramatically with the new toilets. In fact, now we have the best flushing toilets EVER using a fraction of the water.

Why some Conservatives are so romantic over light bulbs and toilets I can't understand. They are generally logical, except when it comes to these two items. Just let go of your antique light bulbs, your 3.5 & 5 gpf toilets, and your buggy whips.

[KoRn]

I believe we’re gonna do some stocking up this weekend. Hopefully we can get enough on hand to last us until some sensible politicians get into office and repeal this mindless bullshit.

[sickoflibs]

Typical Rush making his audience think Obama/Democrats did this.

Sorry Rush but it was YOUR MAN GWB and Pelosi that teamed up in 2007 to pass the obscene energy bill that banned these light bulbs. It mandated ethanol too. Does Rush think Newt ('Nancy Pelosi and I believe in man made climate change') would be any better? Man we are screwed!

[BunnySlippers]

I’m hoarding them.
