Australia banned the incandescent lightbulb today! Wow. When you consider the impact of this invention just over a century ago (thereabouts) it's pretty amazing to think that this will and should shortly be a thing of the past. New lightbulbs are far more efficient and last much longer. Good on ya', Aussie, for taking the first step.
The strangest part is that I didn't know that the Light Bulb was originally patented by two Canadians (Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans) in 1875 and then sold to Thomas Edison at a later date for $50,000.00. I always learn this type of valuable information about things when they are on their way out! Late bloomer, eh!
It's nice to think that we are moving in the right direction as saving energy for the next generation is of vital importance!
