France will eliminate all energy waste by households and ban incandescent light bulbs
and polluting cars, under proposals announced Thursday by President Nicolas Sarkozy, who also met with former Vice President Al Gore
Sarkozy said that by 2020, all new buildings should "produce more energy than they consume," although he did not elaborate. By 2010, all incandescent light bulbs and single-paned windows would be banned under the plan
