The Department of Energy announced new rules Tuesday that change the definition of general service lamps and set a minimum standard of 45 lumens for light bulbs that meet the revised definition. Once the new rules are in effect, manufacturers will be required to sell only energy-efficient light bulbs. The Energy Department said consumers should save nearly $3 billion per year on their utility bills once the new rules are fully in place next year.
The Trump administration had tried to slow a years-long push by Congress and past administrations to switch Americans to LED bulbs and other lighting that uses less electricity, saying it was unfairly burdening manufacturers. Climate advocates hailed the DOE’s latest rule change, saying it would ensure that commonly used light bulbs meet an easily achieved efficiency standard.

LED light bulb shortages coming your way.
Can’t wait for “Biden’s tiny windows and low flow toilets crisis” narratives

Dictatorial terrorism. Stripping this once great country of its freedom of choice.
Joe once said he invented the first incandescent light bulb, long before Edison and Sir Davy. Brave of him to let them go…🤷🏻♂️💡💡

Let’s just live in darkness like the good old days.
Excellent “journalism”.
Smart move, especially in a supply chain crisis.
Maybe government could be smaller and not get involved in light bulbs?
