Australia bans Incandescent bulbs to curb Global Warming!

banned incandescent bulbs, energy efficientAustralia will be the first in the world to ban incandescent bulbs in an effort to curb Global Warming through energy efficiency. This is the most proactive solution that I have heard yet. The government in the United States should follow the AU's action on this one. The bulbs are to be phased out over three years, allowing everyone

to purchase new energy efficient bulbs, fluorescents, or LED's. This is an overall benefit for everyone as it will reduce 800,000 tons of carbon dioxide in a year for Australia and will reduce household lighting costs by 66%.
