Yea, funny that, it seems that going with a proper recycling sorting plant and biomass incinerator isn't economical. Why? Because you know those seperate recycling bins? Fines for some kid from a few streets over swapping stuff between them (and let's not even go into colour blindness and a council fining a friend for putting labels on the boxes so he could tell them apart!) make councils a lot of money.

Anyway, the problem with banning IC bulbs is that in many situations (lots of turning on/off for short periods), they are still by far the most efficient, and many of the alternatives have major problems.

For wind power, yea, it's "don't build them in migration paths". Wind power isn't a major "alternative" source anyway, sea power farms perhaps, but in the end we'll still need base load power, and that means nuclear or coal. And coal is dirty, even "green" coal.
