		<description>Show the silliness of this unwarranted ban on simple incandescent bulbs...

This is not like a normal ban on an unsafe product like lead paint,
but simply to reduce electricity consumption:
 
Even if there are some electricity savings, people pay for the electricity they use:
There is no energy shortage including of future low emission electricity, that justifies telling people what they can use in their homes 
(and if there was, the bulbs could simply be taxed, covering subsidies on other bulbs to make them cheaper).
How market competition or light bulb taxation could work in practice, with examples:  http://ceolas.net/#li23x</description>
