when you say "control", do you really mean regulations?
what do you mean by the back door? there is no secret to the fact that people's lifestyles will require change.
what exactly is the problem with a short term transition to more efficient products and services that cause minimal impact on the environment leading to greater structural change with the emergence of new businesses, sectors, technologies etc?
that is a win win situation.
I have showed you on numerous occasions that the old bulb wasn't harmless, there weren't lots of small lightbulb factories and that hundreds of products are screened off the market every year.
- Yes, regulations. Crippling your freedom to use a perfectly good lightbulb – this is only an example.raf
- The old bulb didn't bring mercury to your home. EU banned mercury thermometers not so long agoraf
- traditional bulbs waste up 95% of energy consumed as heat (rather than light) - is that smart?lowimpakt
- They don't waste it. They emit it as heat. My kettle wastes energy turning 99% of it into heat. Next in the ban line?raf
- Bottom line, I don't believe we should use less energy. Politicians don't either if you look at what they do, not say.raf
