Major Papers Plug Incandescent Ban
Gee, who'd a thunk that two major papers would come out endorsing the proposed state ban on incandescent light bulbs? Well, the Sacramento Bee did an editorial endorsing the incandescent ban, anyway.
The Los Angeles Times was more of a news story telling for the most part how great compact fluorescents are.
The Times did mention one thing I found interesting: Apparently General Electric is developing some new incandescent bulbs that use half the energy the current ones do and an even more efficient one might be available by 2012.
Interesting thing about both the Bee's editorial and the L.A. Times story is neither mentions the fact that compact fluorescent bulbs are considered hazardous waste and can't just be thrown away.
I think I'll write a letter to the L.A. Times to remind them of that. Think they'll publish it?
