Re: Light bulbs banned

No need to appologise for realism Geoff, this is exactly what I was hinting at. People are "Green" when it suits them, including & especially politicians.

I just thought low energy light bulbs were one of the more palatable and efective measures being foisted upon us, compared to the extra taxes we will be suffering to supposedly help save the planet. I use low energy bulbs because I won't have to change them as often and the electric bill will be slightly less, the benefits to the environment are incidental .This is how it works, I'd have thought in modern society (politicians inluded). What's in it for me?

I am far more concerened about habitat destruction etc, you can see that happening without scientific facts and figures to try & convince you it's happening.
