Default Europe to ban halogen lightbulbs

I still use the eeevil old incandescent lamps and have enough stocked
up that I'll still be using them even if banned. My favorites are the
100 watt bulbs and the 3-ways that can be cranked up to 150 watts. Then
there are the high-wattage exterior lights. Between inside and outside
I'm probably using a good couple of kilowatts to light the house up at
night - and loving it. (I'm always on the lookout for ways to INCREASE my
"carbon footprint" - **** the EU and the other climate change hucksters.)


Forget climate change and regulation. I use LED because I like the
light quality better and they do have a payback.

To keep using incans just to be arrogant is pretty stupid. OK in a
closet where there is no payback but other places I like to save money,
