		<description><![CDATA[From the Huffington Post: China will phase out power-draining light bulbs within five years in a move to make the world&#8217;s biggest polluting nation more efficient but also certain to impact the global market. China will ban imports and sales of 100-watt-and-higher incandescent bulbs from Oct. 1, 2012, in an attempt to save energy and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Energy and Security Act of 2007 has gained attention recently (despite its age, people seem to have suddenly discovered it), and while there has been a great deal of teeth gnashing and lightbulb hoarding, no one has addressed the approaching death of a cultural phenomenon: the lightbulb joke. When we switch over to long-life [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Light Bulb is Dead! Long Live the Light Bulb!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, people have discovered that a Federal Law enacted in 2007 is going to eliminate 130-year-old technology. An article in the New York Times Magazine this weekend discusses the matter.

		<title>Light bulbs? Heavens no, they&#8217;re heaters.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you listen carefully, you can hear my forehead slamming on the desk. From Treehugger.com Banning old lightbulbs seems like low-hanging fruit, an easy way to significantly reduce energy usage with little to no loss of lifestyle comforts. But the bulb bans persistently promote protest, and bring out the curmudgeons resistant to change. European regulators [...]]]></description>
