The No.1 option for improving energy efficiency - Ban Incandescent Bulbs!
Matt Prescott writing in his View Point on the BBC World Service posits the argument that doing away with "inefficient and obsolete technology " - re; incandescent light bulbs, would be a significant first step towards the overall improvement of energy efficiency campaigns. ' Listening to most politicians, you would think the world's energy problems can be solved only by building ever bigger power stations and burning ever more fuel.Not so; and it certainly cannot solve the coming climate crisis. After turning off unnecessary pieces of equipment, improved energy efficiency is the cheapest way for developing countries to maximise their use of limited energy supplies, and for developed countries to achieve cuts in their carbon dioxide emissions.'
