The bill did _not_ "ban" incandescent bulbs, it set minimum efficiency
standards.

That some incandescents available at Home Depot already meet.

Also, only certain incandescents are affected - there are many exceptions
(colored, flood, spot, appliance, decorative, ones of brightness of "usual
25 watt ones and dimmer, ones brighter than the brighter 150 watt 750 hour
ones, other exceptions).
