The misconceptions provided by the media and conservatives is that the government has outlawed incandescent bulbs from the consumers.

This is far from the truth. The truth is that in 2012 you can still buy whatever light bulb that you want from the store.

The US goverment has restricted the manufacturing of traditional 100 watt incandescent bulbs [[energy wasters).

The law was not passed to combat climate change. The law was signed for and advocated by conservative Republican President George Bush in 2007. President Bush censored NOAA and other government agencies concering climate change. Therfore, please don't post any comments about this law being passed to address Climate Change.

This law was passed to become more Energy Efficient. President Bush rallied about energy efficiency and lamented about energy waste. This is why the law was made.

The Freep Press article concerning this issue is misleading and does not present the facts.
