I'm getting fed up with CFLs and other such light sources... Sadly I have a sensitivity to their light; but I am hopping that LED light sources will become better in the next few years.

Also I regularly hear the buzz from CFLs which is annoying to say the least. I agree there needs to be better solutions but atm there aren't any... CFLs get annoying fast, LEDs just don't provide the light output of normal ones but that I believe is mainly in the design of most of the bulbs... They focus instead of diffuse the light. I am actually considering adding quite a lot of LED light sources to get the same effect but again their colour is skewed to the blue range which isn't healthy as well but that is improving.

As for such legislation I don't agree with forcing people doing that. I would switch my electricity to renewable sources if they didn't charge a premium for that. The incentive should be financial and nothing else.

Just like my cellco got me to switch to ebills(though I would have switched over anyway). They offered so much less per month if you switch from paper to ebills. I never looked back and only look forward to when others will start offering the same.

As for public transport around here it's decent and I use it from time to time but since there are two of use traveling to nearly the same destination a car isn't such a bad choice. And the most time saved is in the morning. Since a bus seems to get slower from one point to the other then during the afternoon.
