Canada Turns Out The Lights By 2012
According to CBC News today, the Canadian federal government will ban the sale of incandescent light bulbs by 2012 in a move to reduce energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gases. Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn said this would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than six million tonnes a year, saving homeowners about $60 annually in electricity costs.
Many jurisdictions around the world have recently moved toward banning standard incandescent bulbs, which lose most of their energy as heat. Australia blazed the way, announcing in February that it was going to prohibit the use of incandescent bulbs by 2010 in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated Australia’s ban will result in a 800,000-tonne reduction in the emissions within five years.

Comments are sorta kinda broken right now. We're working on it but to save energy can only work in daytime when solar system is at peak performance.
