New Lighting Bill Passed

I had read on another site that Congress has passed a new bill on lighting. What it does is bann the sale of incadescent bulbs of 100 watts or more by 2010, any over 25 watts by 2012 and the usage of any incadescent lighting of 25 watts or more by 2104.

Acording to the artical this is all bulbs that use a filiment which includes tungsten, Sodium, Metal Hides etc.

Could we all be going to t-5 VHO bulbs in the near future? Or will something more effecient be comming out by then?

This same bill also pushes the average new automibile gas milage up by at least 40% by 2110. Does that mean even small engines that won't be able to keep up with freeway speeds?
