If something makes sense and there is a market for it and it is affordable the need will be filled and those filling the need will make money. IF it has to be mandated by the government then it probably is a bad idea or just not feasible. e.g. compact florescent bulbs. They were mandated and came with a hazmat sheet for disposal. LCD's on the other hand are widely accepted by the public as they make sense, don't require warm up period and are not a environmental hazard. Another example was Low E glass coatings. Not mandated but they make sense and are afforable. Good ideas don't require mandates!
