If we're to believe they're taking this "Nett Zero" energy policy
seriously, I'd much rather hear an announcement that were going to build
another half a dozen nukes, than banning some light bulbs that most
people have already abandoned ...


And fluorescent tubes are reasonably efficient in terms of
light output vs power in. They give a much better light
for situations where you need to see fine detail.
