How long until we see this in the US?

Never, just like the fuel effient cars we have over here but are forbidden to be used in the US!

never say never. they banned the regular lightbulbs didn't they?

now we have the opportunity to chose between these wonderful options:

a) get to poison ourselves AND the environment with so-called energy efficient cfl lightbulbs
 
b) use 25-40 watt incandescents lightbulbs that amount to just a bit better than lighing a candle - but the upside is you get that "monk from dark ages" feeling - priceless

c) convince granny to sell her kidney to the albanians so we'll be able to afford to install LED lamps

so we can protect the environment! Mind you, cfls are hazardous waste but i'm sure none get broken and all are disposed properly. Mmmmhmmm!

Ban the oldskool lightbulbs! People still using them are terrorists! Report them to your nearest police station.

:hitler:

like i said the EU IS the Flying Circus. They fly from Brussels to Luxembourg and their policies are jokes.

Original Message Anyone wanting to buy a powerful vacuum cleaner has only 10 days left to be certain of getting one - following new EU rules that come in next month.

From 1 September, companies in the EU will be banned from making or importing vacuum cleaners above 1600 watts.

The rules will get even tougher in three years' time.

From 1 September 2017, all vacuum cleaners will have to be less than 900w.
