The announcement by the EU summit that incandescent bulbs will be phased out by 2009 is an interesting development. Just a few weeks ago David Milliband was asked if he would be banning the sale of incandescent bulbs. "Impractical" he replied - only to be upstaged within days by the Australian government who announced that the sale of incandescent bulbs will be banned by 2010.
Now more humiliation for Mr Milliband as the EU leaders under the presidency of the Germans announced that they would be pushing through proposals to phase out incandescent bulbs for domestic use by 2009 and new regulations for office and street lighting by 2008.
Poor Mr Milliband it seems had been left in the dark.
