Same with the price of beer in a pub since RBT, and watch it skyrocket after
smoking is banned in pubs.

Having just spent several tens of thousands of dollars at work on
power factor correction and harmonic filtering in a large UPS system,
I reckon the recent announcements about phasing out incandescent bulbs
are hilarious.
The electrical utilities must be in conniptions. They have enough
trouble with leading power factors already, what are they going to do
when everyone's domestic lighting is running at ~ 0.5 ?
(To Dave Lawley: You're only paying 20% of what you used to pay for
lighting because the power company hasn't put the cost of power factor
correction into your bill yet. They will; they'll have to. The
price of electricity must necessarily go up as CFLs become commonplace).
