Hi all...

I am rather perplexed, and a bit worried.

I just heard that the president signed a bill from congress on December 19, making INCANDESCENT light bulbs illegal by the year 2014.

What will we use for basking bulbs? In fact, what will chicken farmers use for brooding bulbs, and etc? There are alot of uses I can think of where incandescent bulbs will work and nothing else will do the job!

Will we all be using heat emitters with our new flourescent bulbs that plug into our old incandescent lamps? Or will reptile companies have the only incandescent bulbs available, and thus they will quadruple in price?

I see problems forthcoming from this! And in my local Home Depot, you can already see much less aisle space for incandescents, and more space for the compact flourescent, which does not produce heat like a basking bulb!

In case you think I am kidding...
