Submission + - California proposes to ban incandescent lightbulbs
zhang1983 writes: "A California Assemblyman Llyod Levine wants to make his state the first to ban incandescent lightbulbs with the "How Many Legislators Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb Act"
The act will promote Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) to replace the inefficient incandescent lightbulbs.
According to him, "Incandescent lightbulbs were first developed almost 125 years ago, and since that time they have undergone no major modifications, meanwhile, they remain incredibly inefficient, converting only about 5 percent of the energy they receive into light.""
