Is there a ban on incandescent light bulbs?
Countries all over the world are beginning to ban incandescent light bulbs. U.S. Congress has passed a bill that will begin the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs in the U.S. beginning with the 100-watt bulb in 2012 and ending in 2014 with the 40-watt bulb. All light bulbs must use 25 percent to 30 percent less by 2014. By 2020, bulbs must be 70 percent more efficient than they are today.
