That lightbulb has ZERO impact on other people
Not true. Inefficient consumption of energy in a world that is rapidly becoming resource-tight is an effect on other people.
What if they hook up their 100 watt bulb to a solar panel and a battery?
And to me your reason is not sufficent to make government step in and ban light bulbs. People pay for the inefficency with a higher electrical bill. Why not try selling that to them, instead of using government to force them to do what you want them to do?
I know the answer, and its because its easier to use the government to beat people into submission that to convince them your view is right. Nanny statism is basically due to laziness on the part of activists.
