Canada will ban the sale of inefficient incandescent light
bulbs by 2012 as part of a plan to cut down on emissions of greenhouse gases,
Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn said on
Wednesday.
Canada is the second country in the world to announce such a ban. Australia said in February it would get rid of all incandescent bulbs by 2009.
“Making the switch to more efficient lighting is one of the easiest and most effective things we can do to reduce energy use and harmful emissions,” Lunn told a news conference.
Has anyone noticed that these are two Conservative governments that still consider questions about responsible energy use something worth answering?
