Problem:

  Peak electricity consumption leads to downtime.
  The majority of people don't want such downtime.

Proposed solution:

  Switching to compact fluorescent lamp will reduce peak consumption.

Ways to implement solution:

 1. The majority of people vote for politicians who could ban producing
    and/or selling incandescent lamps.

 2. The majority of people switch to compact fluorescent lamp voluntary.

  We need the ban, because the minority of people won't switch to CFL voluntary.
   -> If only the majority switched to CFLs, it would already reduce "peak consumption"
      substantially. This would also make CFLs cheaper (supply/demand curve)
      and easier for minority to make the switch.

  We need the ban, because the majority of people won't switch to CFL voluntary.
   -> If the majority won't switch, in democracy, such majority won't be able to vote
      politicians in to be able to impose the ban.
  
  But what about non-democratic countries?
   -> Then my and your opinion don't matter and there's no point in this debate.
