"they'll be banning fireplaces and wood stoves" That's really an excellent suggestion! Where I live, sometimes open fires are banned because of the frequent, pollution trapping inversions. But all the time would be even better!

Ted, I guess the proposed ban on incandescent bulbs itself doesn't concern you? Why should it? Next thing you know, they'll be banning fireplaces and wood stoves because they're inefficient and they contribute to global warming. And this is bad why? Did you know that wood burning in a fireplace can cause someone to have an asthma attack? Did you know that when Seattle has an inversion, they automatically ban fireplace burning? What is wrong with trying to minimize air pollution? Seriously, when did doing good things become bad to you guys?
