Metella, thanks for the links. I wonder if the ban will pass in California, a state with significant energy usage. I certainly hope so - it's not a bad idea to start passing these laws to phase out out-dated technology in cases where industry is not taking the lead. Then, of course, you could start a discussion on the freedom of the consumer to make the right choice...but, to me it seems that we're still consuming energy in excess and that self-regulation isn't enough (or at least, not yet).
I'm going to have to start washing clothes in cold water - that's something I haven't switched to yet, but will (especially after getting my electric bill for January...even with the light bulbs and other energy conservation measures, yikes!).
