What a great idea. The Australian government is to ban light bulbs by 2010 to save the enviroment.

"Federal Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull is announcing today that conventional, incandescent light bulbs are to be phased out over the next three years and replaced with energy-saving globes.
He says this will save up to two million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in Australia over the next few years.
Mr Turnbull has told AM that new energy standards will be introduced.
"It'll be illegal to sell a product that doesn't meet the energy standard so that'll happen by 2009, 2010, and so by that stage you simply won't be able to buy incandescent light bulbs because they won't meet the energy standard," he said."
Our house already uses nothing but energy-saving globes but I guess not many other people use them. What about Ironworkers, have you the old bulbs or new ones in your house?
