Sounds just like the gummit a few klicks south of you.

  Here's an interesting conumdrum that the powers-that-be here in Canada have
  gotten themselves into: we're about 1-2 years away here in the province of
  Ontario from outright BANNING the sale of "standard" incandesecent light
  bulbs, in our wise(?) move to "...go green"...

  ...And yet the federal government in Ottawa is banning/severely restricting
  the use of mercury in consumer goods (like thermometers, thermostats,etc.).

  Interestingly enough, there will be no restrictions on the use of mercury in
  dental fillings, and the wide-open useage of CFLs
  (containing---surprise!---mercury) is to be encouraged, BY LAW...

  Does the right hand even know, or CARE, what the left hand is doing
  anymore...?!
