Got a text message last night that China will begin offering CFL light bulbs for 1 RMB.

1 RMB!!!

There was no number on how many would be sold at this amount, who would be producing the bulbs, or where the bulbs would be sold.

If anyone out there has more details on this program, please send them over.  I have seen programs in Shanghai and Tianjin that subsidized purchases on the order of 10 million bulbs, but to think this program has gone NATIONWIDE is just shocking… and would only strengthen my belief that the largest/ most important investments would by made by government bodies.
