I happened to be in wal*mart the other day and I was shocked at the
amount shelf space dedicated to LED lighting.  Looking a little more
closely, I noticed that the LED slighting shelves were fully stocked
all the way to the back of the shelving units.  The shelving rack with
the generic wal*mart incandescent bulbs was completely empty except
for three packages of 40 watt bulbs.

Assuming that wal*mart does not have supply chain issues, I believe
that cost and public opinion are going to be major issues here.  The
quality control issues of CFLs seems to have strongly turned people
off from anything other than incandescent bulbs.
