Incandescent light bulbs are officially banned in the U.S.::America’s ban on incandescent light bulbs, 16 years in the making, is finally a reality. Well, mostly.

Thank you. What is the usage of using them as a radiator? Am I wrong or does it seem quite inefficient?

Regarding your last question: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%932023_book_banning_in_the_United_States

The link seems broken even if I copy-paste it? Wtf. It's a Wikipedia article titled " 2021–2023 book banning in the United States"

Once you're doing resistive heating any resistive element is just as efficient as any other. Incandescent light bulbs have three advantages: They are cheap, easy to work with, and it's really obvious when one is turned on.

As for your link, it's talking about arguments about which books should be made available at school and local libraries. In no sense is that even related to the federal government banning books.

Well I've never said the US federal government is banning books, but I wish people were as mad when their local schools and libraries do that :-)
