Texans already beat the feds by buying gallons-per flush toilets in Mexico. Can a post-2014, D.C.-defying, black-market trade in incandescent light bulbs be far behind? I think not.
Meanwhile, the pols debate repealing the incandescent-deletion (bye bye 100 watt bulbs in January, 60 watt ones in 2014) which, while supported by Obamalot, actually was signed into law by Bush Jr. in 2007. With the, ahem, support of Big Light, i.e. GE, Phillips, et al, which will make a lot more money on the switch. And they, or something, have quashed repeal so far.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Not to worry. Big Bro will start looking into the size of your electricity bill soon. Mark my words.
Obamalot has promised to more than double our electric bills by the EPA slapping new standards on coal-fired power plants—which make most of the USA’s electricity. That should help raise unemployment even higher than higher taxes will.
