So those very BAD Tungsten Filament Light bulbs are now BANNED to save the planet!!
Excuse me - what about all the CO2 those Aeroplanes make? not to mention the chemicals destroying the Ozone layer just in the right place. Do we ban them?
So, exactly how much energy does it take to make a "low energy Light bulb" I bet a darn sight more than a conventional Tungsten Filament. Anyway bacause of the chemicals used to make these Energy saving Bulbs you cannot throw them in your Bin when they die! Oh no - they are "Hazardous Waste" and must be disposed of at special disposal points. How many people know this? Should you smash one you have to evacuate and aerate the room for 15mins before cleaning up! Do we want these hazards in our Homes?

Don't let me depress you Monty,
but as you probably guessed the real reason for the ban is industrial politics...

As you say, it's all rather bizarre...
And the EU energy commissioner now defends it on his blog saying it "increases choice":
