Incandesent Bulbs Banned From Sale After 2012 In U.S.
Engadget reports that the recent energy bill passed by the U.S. Congress starts to phase out incandescent bulbs starting in 2012. By 2014, all light bulbs 40 watts and above will need to be at least 25%-30% more efficient. By 2020, light bulbs will need to be 70% more efficient than today's products.

I am not a huge fan of compact fluorescent bulbs, myself. They take a while to warm up and don't produce the same kind of light. I can't wait for LED bulbs to start showing up as they produce better light, use even less energy than compact fluorescent bulbs, and last longer.

More details from US News And World Reports and USA Today.
