Save the world stop using incandescent bulbs… really it will help

Lloyd Levine a lawmaker in California, is trying to pass new legislation that would ban people from using the incandescent light bulb. It is about time people realize that a 125 year old technology is not as efficient as it could or should be. I do not agree with the government making a law stating what light bulbs we can and cannot use, but I do agree that it is a good idea to replace the old-fashioned bulbs with the newer Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs. I am just as guilty as the next guy when using incandescent bulbs, but my wife and i have started to replace bulbs with the new CFLs as needed. They give off the same if not better light, produce less heat, and gives everyone the opportunity to help out.
I think the upfront costs may keep people away, but if you look at the lifetime value of the bulb, and financial and environmental savings it is worth the added cost.
