The manufacture of incandescent lamps are not banned. Halogens are incandescent and are still going to be available. And many others. What was banned was light sources below a specified efficiency. There are programs underway that may lead to new incandescent bulbs entering the marketplace.
The carburetor situation is very similar though not identical. The use of fuel injection in automobiles has become virtually complete due to an efficiency standard.
So neither carburetors nor Edison bulbs have been banned. But their manufacture has ceased as they cannot meet the performance standard.
And there are in fact many carburetors that are no longer available. I had to convert my old truck to a performance carburetor as there are no more of the proper one available.
great, so according to your flawed post, I will still be able to buy 40,60,75, 100 and 150 watt incandescent bulbs. I think not. thanks a lot dems and repubs. way to screw over the poor people.
The ban is in effect, time to get over it or go and stock your basement full of crappy light bulbs.
see, you just made your carb argument invalid. carbs are still able to be bought, and incandescent are not. thanks for nothing. dems and repubs should both be raked over the coals.
If they were such a great deal people would have flocked to them and intervention by government/ big business would not have been necessary. In fact, most folks can't afford to put a big upfront investment in light bulbs, or have decided that they would rather spend their money in other ways.
Of course, a few keen, sapient, insightful Americans realize this Light bulb plan/Ban's ultimate goal is part of the Bigger Agenda....to disrupt and END American Liberty and Freedom.
Are you kidding? Most people don't even have the intellectual curiosity to even see if changing bulbs would save them money or not. All they see is up front cost.
So, in summary, your view is that the American people are too stupid to pick out a light bulb, so they need the guidance of their intellectual superiors, like you. Would that cover it?
