The California Energy Commission in September 2010 published its 226-

incandescent light bulb will be outlawed at midnight on December 31,
2010.
Imagine 100-watt incandescent light bulbs as contraband in California
-- persona non gratis -- but illegal immigrants get free tuition --
amigo de bienvenida.
Smuggling bootleg light bulbs into California would be a piece of
cake. Just stuff them inside bales of marijuana. Or line up eight
packs in the cargo bays of Greyhound buses carrying illegals on the
express lane from Tijuana to any of two dozen sanctuary cities. Hey,
wave 'em on in, there's nothing to check there! Ten-four!

The California Appliance Efficiency Regulations also outlaws all
teapots smaller than 0.87 quarts. (Smaller ones are too inefficient.)
Really! WTF. I get around that with my Sunbeam Hot Shot....boils 2 cups
in about a minute.
