Our stone age brethren only working 20 hour weeks. Infant mortality is on the rise as we speak and the average working hours for struggling individuals exceeds 40 hours. Our species would have died long ago if individuals from the stone age lived 100+ years on average. I'm only asking for a little less light in places where light isn't even needed. A real cook knows how to use an internal clock and their nose to cook. Lights are not needed. The visual cues are so obvious in most dishes, I could cook with my eyes caked in morning sleep crust. I'm just asking for fewer specialized incandescent bulbs where they aren't even needed.
If you wanted to do everything in a case by case fashion, you'd either have to get a company to prove itself or spend vast sums of money in paper trails and administrative costs. When companies prove themselves, things get bad. We have labor laws because without them the employees would be killed in droves for pure profit. We have lax laws on food safety and as such tens and hundreds of individuals die each and every day nationally from food poisoning. There isn't enough money to do it all administratively. The country is too far in the hole and so is the state. The law must be all encompassing to minimize the time spent enforcing it. There's an initial cost of enforcement and then there's zero cost to enforce once incandescents are wiped out. Any meter maid can be taught to do a quick spot check to see if incandescents have been installed.
Re: I was taught to cook with a real oven. If you want to cook with toys, eat playdough.
