Electrical Enlightenment II - Canada to Go Florescent

By way of follow up on our post last week about Ontario's pending ban on incandescent light bulbs, Yahoo! News reports today that the entire nation will be going florescent by 2012:
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada will ban the sale of inefficient incandescent light bulbs by 2012 as part of a plan to cut down on emissions of greenhouse gases, Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn said on Wednesday.

Canada is the second country in the world to announce such a ban. Australia said in February it would get rid of all incandescent bulbs by 2009.
