Is it true that T12 bulbs are being discontinued and must be replaced with T8?

That is true. The EPAC Act of 2005 states that all old technology relating to electrical products IE: T-12 will no longer be Mfg. after 2010.
The power Grid on the East Coast in 2005 prompted the Govt. to reevaluate the way we use electricity.
The T-8 and T-5 use electronic ballasts replacing the "old technology" magnetic ballasts. In theory, the electronic ballasts use about 1/2 the electricity of magnetic ballasts.
