LAW IS JUST THE LIMITATION OF CHOICE:
Welcome to the Year of the Lightbulb: Get ready to buy lightbulbs by lumens rather than watts. (David Biello, January 1, 2012, Scientific American)
Lighting is the original killer app of modern energy--and one that the world continues to embrace. By adopting lighting technologies that use less energy the nations of the world will cut down on the fossil fuels, often coal, burned to produce that light.So whether it's new, long-lasting but expensive light-emitting diodes, the swirls of a compact fluorescent or just more efficient incandescents, 2012 will be the year that lighting's environmental impact gets lighter.
