Repeal light-bulb central planning!

But check the end of the article. It reports on a poll that shows 84% satisfaction for the non-incandescent bulb. This is among the 0.5% of the population that knows what that is?

In any case, it is preposterous to judge the availability of a consumer good based on a poll. Folks, that’s what the market is for, and why markets should never be replaced by political management for any good or service.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
