[Haelunor]

Sorry to double post, but I have the finished draft of the Energy Savings Act ready for perusal.

Energy Savings Act

---

Author: Haelunor [RG] | Sponsors: Bering [NDP], Ainin [NDP], Glasgia [MSLP], | Urgency: Moderate | SIMBEDS Category: Domestic Development

---

The Senate of the Commonwealth of Aurentina,

Determined to maintain Aurentina’s energy security moving forward,

Noting that a changing world requires new energy solutions,

Realizing that energy would be saved by switching to Compact Fluorescent Lamps and other more energy efficient lighting.

Hereby passes the following,

Section 1: Definitions
Incandescent Light Bulbs are light bulbs which produce light by running an electric current through a filament wire, usually made of Tungsten, thus heating it to a high temperature. The bulb itself is typically filled with a Noble Gas, such as Argon.

Section 2: Ban on Manufacture
By January 1st, 2016, any and all factories or other businesses producing incandescent light bulbs of any wattage will cease producing them.

Section 3: Ban on Import
By January 1st, 2016, incandescent light bulbs will no longer be permitted to be imported from abroad and sold in Aurentina.

Section 4: Exceptions
After January 1st, 2016, the Minister of Energy may allow up to ten bulbs specific wattages to be imported or manufactured for alternative needs such as incubation, heated tanks for reptiles, Easy Bake Ovens, etc.

I am looking for sponsors.

Just to be clear, bulbs already imported or produced in the nation will be allowed to be sold off and used after the 1st?

[Haelunor]

Yes. I suppose you could fill several warehouses with Incandescent light bulbs and try to undermine the law while making money off of uninformed people. I am going to cosider adding a section banning the sale after January 1st, 2017.

Lol, not really worth the cost of storage. Also such a supply would not last very long either, hundreds of millions of light bulbs are sold in the UK alone each year. One would need an absolutely unrivaled warehouse complex to even have three to six months supply stocked up.

No I was more thinking about the smaller hardware etc type shop not massive distributors, they could easily be left with bulbs they can't shift in time whilst massive firms could export any of theirs if such a limit was imposed.

[Haelunor]

I think it would be best to allow stores to sell their remaining stock unhindered.

[New Zepuha]

Yeah, because I'm going to start hoarding them.

Well, I might do that for my own personal use. But then I produce my own energy from renewable sources so I don't have to worry about a) carbon usage and b) electricity bills as long as my total usage is under my total available capacity.
