Finally some encouraging news on the compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) front.
Three Representatives have introduced H.R.6144 which would repeal the ban on incandescent bulbs.
Our website, http://www.cflimpact.com/ has a news story on the bill. It is interesting to note that one of the sponsors is an M.D. from Texas.
Rep. Joe Barton, also from Texas, has a story about the bill on his website:

While (MI) Sen. Levin’s office took a “shot” at discussing this with the EPA, the EPA just “stiffed” them with a non-responsive “response”.
With the likelihood of a major change in the makeup of the House of Representatives the multitudes, who are adversely impacted by CFLs, may just find some Hope for Change in this ill-conceived ban on incandescent bulbs.
Dr. Weeks’ Comment: We have advocated against CFL since the start. See the following links:
