Energy efficiency is about making it practically abundant.

With LEDs, energy is no longer a major limit on light for example.

LED light bulbs suck for the most part.

After all these years, we still don't have the following:

- 3000K-1800K dimming characteristics like halogen

- 100 CRI

- Truly Flicker-free

LED lights have only 2 things going for it: Long life and low energy usage. We can render the latter irrelevant if we make energy abundant and cheap.

You can't even buy Halogen in California, hope someone sues the shit out of them.
