Default Light bulbs to be taxed

The green tax code

Does this mean town shopping centers lit up like blackpool will get taxed?

Good heavens no! It'll only be the powerless proles like us who will
get taxed. The large corps. and vested interests (think: party funding)
won't have to pay a penny, in case it hurts their "competitiveness".

Don't forget, this is only meant to be a token gesture to look as
if something's being done. Even reducing our CO2 levels to those of
North Korea won't make a blind bit of difference on a global scale.
