Beginning today, it is a crime to manufacture or ship for sale a traditional 75-watt incandescent light bulb in the European Union. Autocrats in Brussels last year declared war on Edison's greatest invention with a ban on 100-watt lamps. Homes throughout the Old World will continue to dim until incandescent lighting of all types is snuffed out in 2012 - the same year the United States is scheduled to begin a phaseout schedule mirroring the European plan.
The EU's final solution to the incandescent problem was sparked by bureaucratic irritation at a public that refused to accept the pale, flickering, cold light emanating from government-approved, expensive compact fluorescent bulbs. "Although energy-saving bulbs have been clearly labeled since 1998 as the most cost-effective bulbs, their...

With the impending phase-out of incandescent light bulbs on the horizon, have you been tempted to hoard your remaining old-style bulbs? If so, you can stop worrying.
Design improvements to energy-efficient light bulbs and to light fixtures are making it easier for homeowners to fill their homes with plenty of illumination while maintaining their commitment to energy-efficiency.
... with a 16-watt LED bulb is clearly a big saving in energy- efficiency, but the light you see will look the same," Ms. Gombof said. "Prices are still high for these bulbs, at around $60 for ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to establish a new test procedure for television sets (TVs). DOE repealed the prior Federal test procedure for TVs on October 20, 2009, due to petitions from the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). CEC and CEA petitioned for the repeal in light of the June 13, 2009, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) transition from analog to digital broadcast transmissions for TVs. In their petitions, the CEC requested repeal of the regulatory provisions establishing the test procedure and defining ``television set,'' and the CEA petitioned for DOE's adoption of the International Electrochemical Commission's (IEC's) test procedure IEC Standard 62087- 2008, ``Methods of measurement for the power consumption ...

Property owners and managers around the globe have seen the light. They are investing in green lighting solutions for their buildings to save energy, and in effect, save money. As energy costs spiral out of control, real estate managers and tenants are looking for solutions to cut those costs. Some have turned to a host of energy-efficient technologies falling under the banner of green lighting to ease the pain on their pocketbooks. One solution is daylighting -- using standard skylights or more high tech skylights that include sun tracking systems to light a space. Fluorescent bulbs last between 6,000 and 8,000 hours, compared with 750 to 1,000 hours for an incandescent bulb. Lighting can brighten moods, make it easier to focus on work, and make people feel more safe. Another challenge...

So the point I'm making-and [Blanche Lambert] is exactly right-we've got to be nonideological about our approach to these things. We've got to make sure that our party understands that, like it or not, we have to have a financial system that is healthy and functioning, so we can't be demonizing every bank out there. We've got to be the party of business, small business and large business, because they produce jobs. We've got to be in favor of competition and exports and trade....
