In just a few weeks' time, the British would see the next step of a voluntary withdrawal of incandescent lights by companies in the country. According to Daily Mail, the last 100 and 75 watt incandescents in Britain will be sold out within a few weeks' time. The switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs was initiated in the country last 2007. This past 2008, 150 watt bulbs were also phased out.

This is really a rather stupid idea. Incandescent lamps of higher wattage are used as heating lamps as well as lighting.
CFL's have mercury vapor - not the most environmentally sound solution.
How about suggesting LED lighting for lighting ... and leave the incandescent available for what they are actually good for, not to mention that the CFL's have been shown to have other health issues.
