Honestly, this is very annoying for me as I use an incandescent bulb to keep my well pump just above freezing during the winter months. It’s going to be a huge pain finding a low power heater as a replacement. Most of what I’m finding are made for submersible use for things like fish tanks and burn up if not used underwater.
My neighbors to the north, please do not allow this to happen in your country. US longterm care is understaffed, full of abuse and neglect, and majorly overpriced because of the lack of the regulations listed in the blurb.
I believe that one of the largest problems that we’re up against is the fact that many politicians in the US are creating a self fulfilling prophecy where they are creating the biblical end times that they believe will trigger the rapture. This combines with the profit motive of corporations controlling government policy to prevent any actual progress, and you have one of the largest economies in the world that will likely continue to kick the can down the road on clean energy creation at a level that can cause change. This is all occurring while climate change is likely to accelerate faster than many accepted worst case scenario models as we’re seeing this summer.
All you can do is tell them “Thanks, I might die if I don’t follow it.”
If they’re showing off on steam, they don’t care. My friend like this just talks about the hentai he consumes openly.

I think this article is enlightening on Japan’s cybersecurity. Things may have changed but people like this being in charge put them way behind.
