about the ban on incandescent light bulbs ...
The bill did _not_ "ban" incandescent bulbs, it set minimum
efficiency
standards.
I'm not taking a position, but if it isn't constitutional, neither
are
CAFE standards for automobiles or most any other regulations
regarding
performance levels of any product (say drug effectiveness, for
another
example).
They would do better to set some minimum standards efficiency for
themselves, and then follow the standards.
