They're all over the place with their "facts."

No the Feds are not outlawing incandescent bulbs. Well, not exactly.
What they did instead was set efficiency regulations that are realistically unachievable with an incandescent bulb. Net effect ... no more incandescent bulbs.


via wiki since it has a good basic description of the law.
Here is the actual act in a text format.
Regarding the quality of this source:

What facts are all over the place? The headline is a quote from a news story that they fact check, and then they determine that it is basically a lie. Also, the article linked to also has a link to the actual text of the law. They're going to the source information, about as reliable as I can imagine in a scenario like this "will incandescent bulbs be banned?". They answer emphatically NO.

Would you clarify your position please?
