What is the supposed benefit to society that is achieved by banning incandescent lightbulbs?

Liberals get to feel good about themselves,
and politicians get kickbacks from CFL manufacturers.

How passe. That whole greater good thing is just window dressing to make the LIVs feel good about our betters in DC.

Benefit society?! Hopefully you mean this question sarcastically and didn't fall for that tired excuse they trot out every time special interest legislation is passed.

It's supposed to benefit the lighting companies that lobbied for years for the legislation to be passed. The profit margin is higher on other light sources. The "efficiency" of the light sources do not make up the additional energy used to manufacture them.
