However, last December Congress passed an energy bill which, among other things, bans Edison's invention by 2014, starting with the 100 watt bulb in 2012.

Oh, to be an engineer. <blockquote>LED bulbs for your living room lamp?</blockquote> Perish the thought. Give me filament and flame!

LED bulbs for your living room lamp?

Perish the thought. Give me filament and flame!
