What's this bs about a ban? *I've not kept up with the messages.
*A recently enacted piece of USA Federal legislation bans manufacture,
sale and importation of certain incandescent lamps, starting in 2012..
Some (Republican) congresswoman introduced a bill last week to scale
back
on that legislation and force Uncle Sam to keep its big nose out of
people's lightbulbs. I hope it goes through.

* Why don't you just buy a couple cases of incandescants and keep them
with your 8 tracks. You seem to have missed the spiraling energy costs
and don't seem to care about waste. Well, it's been a great 7 1/2 years
for you hasn't it?

Why don't you eat me, smartass. I use CFL bulbs in my home where they're
warranted, I just want the option to use incandescents in certain
situations also.

You still have that option. Specialty and low wattage lamps are exempt.
There's few places where an edison base lamp couldn't be replaced with one
of the CFLs satisfactorily. It pays to not buy the cheap discount store
CFLs. And as Don pointed out, you can buy the new halogens, which will
certainly fall in price.

*I'd still like to use R12, but the switchover did close the ozone hole.
Remember that?

* Sometimes you have to do something because it has a far greater benefit.

I have a sneaking suspicion the majority of Americans do
