About 130 years ago.Thomas Edison of the US invented the light bulb.Edison's bulb has turned night into day ever since.But today,many want to turn the light off.
The European Union (欧盟) recently decided that by 2009,people should stop using the Edison-style light bulb.Instead,they should use compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs节能 灯).
"CFLs save energy and last longer.They Can save money in the long run," said a British official.CFLs use 67 percent (67%) less electricity than the older bulbs.They last up to 10 times (倍) longer.Scentists say that if everyone used CFLs,electricity use would be cut by 18 percent.There would also be much smaller amounts of greenhouse gases (温室气体) given off.
But it's difficult to make people change their lighting habits.First the CFLs are more expensive.They cost eight times the price of the older bulbs.Many people don't like the CFL bulb.They find it too bright.You cannot change the light of a CFL,either.
CFLs have been around for several years.However.the older lights still make up about two-thirds (2/3) of total(全部的) light bulb sales.
约130年前.托马斯.爱迪生的发明了电灯.爱迪生的灯泡把白天和夜晚颠倒过来.但今天,许多想要把灯关掉.
欧盟最近决定,到2009年,人们应该停止使用Edison-style灯泡.相反,他们应该利用紧凑型荧光灯(CFLs节能灯).
“紧凑型荧光灯、节约能源、持续时间更长.他们还可以节省金钱,从长远来看,英国官员说.紧凑型荧光灯使用67%(67%)电力老灯泡.他们最后的10倍以上(倍)长.Scentists说如果大家使用紧凑型荧光灯、用电量将下降18%.也小得多的温室气体的排放.
但是很难让人们改变他们的照明的习惯.首先紧凑型荧光灯比较贵.他们花费8倍的价钱老灯泡.很多人不喜欢耗电最大灯泡.他们发现它的光辉.你不能改变的光芒,耗电最大.
紧凑型荧光灯已经有好几年了.然而.年长的灯火仍占三分之二(2)总灯泡的销售.
