I am not a good libertarian largely because this offends me more than the war on drugs. While I deeply oppose drug prohibition, it does not provoke the same visceral reaction as light-bulb prohibition. The small meddling is vastly more insulting than the large meddling. I am tempted to believe that it is a moral failing.

You’re right; they should just tax incandescent bulbs.

I feel sorry for two types of people here. Sane people in California, and little girls with easy-bake ovens. They rely on that ~95% of electricity that is turned into heat instead of light in those incandecent light bulbs.
