Would you support such a ban in your locale?

Why or why not.

Side note here:  aresols are banned in California. A female buddy of mine in LA had to have her hair spray. So she set out on a 6 hour ride to Nevada where it is legal. Bought a case of the banned hair spray and started home. She got caught up in a dust storm. Her bf went out to find her. Next both parties were lost in the dust storm- so 911 was notified. So a search and rescue was dispached.  In the end all were safe- and she got her hair spray. LMAO.

note: alternative lights will come down in price.

LED lighting is practically free- expect a huge explosion of applications of LEDs in home and office- everywhere.

Status: offline 		This sounds like a bright idea, though I'd like to hear about it all; watt elements make incandescents poor? Is it the volt of resistance from industry that a law is required, or have light bulbs had their day and are all burnt out?

I'll stop now

Both folks whom are interested in teck and interior design would be interested in this.  [BTW- I concur with your statement on diclosure of the details.- we do need to know the full scope of the bill :-)]

Americans put out 2x the amount of co2 into the atmosphere- compared to its EU counterparts. Well- thats unacceptable. EU/UK enjoy the western style of life- there is no excuse to be so gluttonous that it ruins the planet- when folks across the pond enjoy a decent quality of life.

Hence, baby steps.

I am fascinated by new applications- ok- my living room has flouresent and LED lighting. Bedroom, has halogyn. There are so many choices.

:-)
