Currys to sell only 'low-energy' light bulbs

[AB Asks]

Currys are to stop selling incandescent light bulbs in favour of energy saving varieties. The decision follows an announcement by Gordon Brown that he wants to remove old fashioned bulbs from houses by 2011. The chain of shops has made the decision after a 20-fold yearly increase in sales of low-energy bulbs, which means that they now make up 60% of the total sales. Should all shops follow Currys' lead? Or should it be down to the public to decide which light bulbs they use?

The questions floats to the top of the list because the Fat Controller planted the question and the Fat Controller decides what happens on AB.
