Incandescent Light Bulbs May Have a Bright Future After All - by Erin Blakemore/ SmartNews:Keeping You Current/ SmithsonianMag.com

"It was a dark end for a common household object: In 2007, the United States Congress passed a law requiring the U.S. to phase out most incandescent light bulbs by 2014. But the phaseout, which was in keeping with a worldwide movement to get rid of incandescent bulbs in favor of more energy-efficient lighting options, may not be here to stay.
