Australia To Change Lightbulbs
In a bid to curb greenhouse gas emissions, Australia will be the first country to ban incandescent lightbulbs. The government said on Tuesday they are going to be phased out in the next three years.
Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull said “yellow incandescent bulbs, which have been in use virtually unchanged for 125 years, would be replaced by more efficient compact fluorescent bulbs by 2009″.
“By that stage you simply won’t be able to buy incandescent lightbulbs, because they won’t meet the energy standard,” Turnbull told local radio.
