Instead they'll ban things, and just have a black market spring up, while simultaneously f-ing up the business of incandenscent bulb manufacturers. Awesome.
I'm pretty sure they aren't going to have a problem with guys in South Central LA selling incadescent light bulbs out of their trench coat.

Your right though, they should get rid of vehicle emmisions laws while they are at it.
