NO Nearly 130 years after Thomas Edison invented it, the world may be on the brink of saying ‘thank you, and goodnight’ to the incandescent electric light bulb.  Australia has announced a ban; Cuba, Venezuela and the European Union are among those moving in the same direction. We should celebrate its demise, for the world’s billions of bulbs — only five per cent efficient at converting power into light — cause massive emissions of carbon dioxide.
