Light bulb moment

Did you know that President Bush signed legislation in 2007 that begins phasing out incandescent light bulbs in 2012?

The old bulbs use more power than energy-saving fluorescent lightbulbs and halogen lamps.

This came to light (groan!) when I saw a story about the European Union’s move to ditch incandescents by 2012.
