					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve started stockpiling 100 watt light bulbs since they&#039;ll be the first to go in less than four years.

Most of my light bulbs are already fluorescent, but I still want the option for my dimmers and any other reason that I don&#039;t know about yet.

The energy savings from the ban will probably not be there. Human behavior dictates that the cheaper something is, the more you use it. I&#039;ve already caught myself leaving the fluorescent lights on all night just because I can.

We&#039;d probably save more energy by banning all NPR radio stations. Each one uses at least 10,000 watts, 24 hours a day!]]></description>
