On Jan. 1, Canada began phasing out inefficient incandescent light bulbs. You'd think the world was ending. The coverage featured stories of people stockpiling the bad bulbs, people interviewed who get migraines from fluorescents and histrionic op-eds calling for a reversal of the legislation. I can't believe I have to say this, but getting rid of incandescent light bulbs is an incredibly good thing. It's the equivalent of phasing out leaded gas, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or the Ford Pinto.
