Here comes the government again!
In America, it would seem that the "free market" might be able to take care of this. If it gets legislated, there will most likely be a "black market" for light bulbs manufactured elsewhere and smuggled in the country.
[Sarcasm] I wonder if light bulbs will be hidden in cocaine bundles or if cocaine will be hidden in light bulbs. [sarcasm off]...

On the Cybercast News Service website, Nathan Burchfiel reports:
..."Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) introduced legislation that would set target dates for certain types of light bulbs to be prohibited for sale in the United States.
Harman calls the bill 'an important first step toward making every household, business and public building in America more energy-efficient.'
'This legislation, while a small step, could have an enormous impact,' she said in a posting on the liberal Huffington Post blog. 'And hopefully, it can help transform America into an energy-efficient and energy-independent nation.'"
