"Lunacy dims Edison's invention"
I've posted articles on this subject before.
My guess would be that elected officials will forget that they caused this, and "save" us (probably in an election year)...

Alan Levine reported this at Arizona's TriValleyCentral.com website:
"The General Electric factory in Winchester, Va., the last major U.S. plant making standard incandescent light bulbs, is scheduled to close at the end of the month. When it does, the remaining 200 workers will lose their jobs, marking a rather ignominious end for a company that produced a product that Thomas Alva Edison gave to us and the rest of the world back in the late 1870s.
This is a direct result of Al Gore’s global-warming scare tactic, which is largely responsible for the 2007 energy bill enacted by the Democratic-dominated Congress that mandates the total banning of all incandescent bulbs by 2014, further exacerbated by the fact that all of the CFL bulbs that we are being forced to use will continue to be manufactured in China."
