So while a case can/should be made for the reduction in electricity
consumption that does not have to be generated (especially by burning
coal or other fossil fuel) and potential reduction in capital
investment by electricity producers and distribution utilities
electricity is not NECESSARILY conserved by mandating the use of non
incandescent bulbs.

Thank you. That will be added as a criterion for the Grand Study.
(Seriously: the amount by which indandescent lighting reduces the need
for space heating.)
