The florescents are being pushed over here, too, though not at the point of flatly banning the incandescents. My local electric utility is one of the groups behind them. They're pushing conservation and energy efficiency because they really don't want to build new generating capacity. Doing so is a political nightmare, as everyone knows it's necessary, but no one wants a plant in their area, nor does anyone want to pay the enormous costs. (And for various good reasons, a new plant probably ought to be nuclear, which would add even more fun to the fractious process of getting it built.)
