This article brings up an interesting issue. Although incandescent bulbs are big energy wasters, I do not agree with a law that bans them. The governement should not be so involved that they are making every day decisions for people. Yes, being efficient when it comes to energy is important, but the government does not have the right to force people to purchase fluorescent bulbs, which can be extremely expensive. A better course of action would be for the government to offer financial insentives to those to buy fluorescent bulbs, making them more widely used. The increase of the purchase of these bulbs can help make them cheaper and also conserve energy.
