Of course, this might be too late, as the last major makers of incandescent bulbs have already shut down in the USA. But, hey, at least we’ll be able to use ones made in China, rather than CFLs made……in China. It’s called personal choice, alarmists.
WASHINGTON: Reps. Joe Barton, R-Texas, Michael Burgess, R-Texas, and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, joined 12 other Republicans to reintroduced the Better Use of Light Bulbs Act or BULB Act, H.R. 91.
The BULB Act repeals Subtitle B of Title III of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which is a de facto ban on the incandescent light bulb.

Oh, and for some major league alarmist stupidity
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.): “There is a case to be made that, in the contest between corporate profits and children’s lungs, someone should be standing up for children’s lungs.”
Yeah, because it’s not like we need CO2 for life or anything. Hey, Sheldon, no breathing out, you might damage children’s lungs.
