Try making sense of that, and you'll understand why some states are passing laws to counteract the Federal government's mandate on old-tech incandescent bulbs. Seems that some old-tech manufacturers would be "forced" to update their processes (or even (gasp!) LIQUIDATE), and those businesses don't like it.
The next round, replacing fluorescents with LED tech, will likely bring out the same dinosaurs yet again. Welcome to the soon-to-be richest third-world nation in the world, thanks to our prehistoric ideas of what "freedom" means.
BTW, due to the savings of bulk manufacture, and the competition of bulk needs, the costs will go down precipitately as soon as we focus on making them in bulk. There are no rare materials in them, and they are now basically made piecemeal and soldered together in gangs, is why they cost so much. Get the tech going, and we'll soon be printing them.
