Bye Bye Incondecent

Over 2 centuries ago the incandescent light bulb was invented;popularised by Thomas Eddison in the early 1800s. For over 2 centuries the incandescent light bulb has been in use. Now we can all say goodbye. In 1972 General Electric invented the fluorescent light bulb, now incandescent sales are falling 10 to 12% annually(poor people who invested in them). Did you know if everyone traded one incandescent for one fluorescent it would be the same as taking 800,000 cars off the road and $600million would be saved annualy. Because of these allarmming figures Congress has finnally past a bill the pressident actually didnt veto. Along with many other things it says by 2014 a 100 wat light bulb can only be 75 and simmilar % for different wats and by 2020 all wats have to be divided in 4 (100 wats=25wats).
