Australia Shines Green!
Australia is about to give the boot to Thomas Edison.
The man who made the incandescent light bulb practical is about to have his invention banned "down under."
Legislation to gradually ban the sale of the old style bulbs will reduce Australia's greenhouse gas emissions and cut household power bills by over 60%.
All these bulbs will be replaced, first by fluorescent lighting, and eventually by a new generation of high luminosity L.E.D. lights that use only a very small percentage of the power required by today's lighting.
On Australia's initiative, California and New Jersey in the United States and Ontario here in Canada are also considering a gradual phase-out of incandescent lighting.
A bright idea, and one whose time has come!
