Australia Pulls the Plug on Incandescent Bulbs

February 20, 2007

The clock is officially ticking for incandescent bulbs in Australia; they plan to completely phase out the inefficient bulbs by 2010. The decision will make Australia the first country to ban the light bulbs, and could cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions by 4 million tons by 2012.

"If the whole world switches to these bulbs today, we would reduce our consumption of electricity by an amount equal to five times Australia's annual consumption of electricity," said Malcolm Turnbull, the country's environment minister.
