Light Bulbs now add to the Climate Chaos
The Biden administration is preparing to implement a sweeping nationwide ban on commonly used light bulbs as part of its energy efficiency and climate agenda.
The regulations, which prohibit retailers from selling incandescent light bulbs, were finalized by the Department of Energy (DOE) in April 2022 and are slated to go into effect on Aug. 1, 2023. The DOE will begin full enforcement of the ban on that date, but it has already urged retailers to begin transitioning away from the light bulb type and, in recent months, begun issuing warning notices to companies.
“The lighting industry is already embracing more energy efficient products, and this measure will accelerate progress to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said.
According to the DOE announcement, the regulations will save consumers an estimated $3 billion per year on utility bills and cut carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next three decades.

Anything that’s cheap, convenient, and liked by millions of Americans lands on the Socialist radar eventually. There is just no end to it. The of Head of the DOE(LOL) said nothing about cost of the light bulbs that THEY WANT everyone to use but THEY have issued warnings to the companies. The Head did not say what dire warnings or which companies. TYPICAL SOCIALIST INTIMADATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
