That law phased out inefficient incandescent and halogen bulbs, and was passed with bipartisan support in Congress.
Despite the initial support for the bill from both aisles, the issue turned contentious during the Obama administration as the more efficient light bulbs began to hit the market. Those include the LED bulbs that look more like the traditional pear-shaped incandescent bulbs, but use one-fifth the energy.
Over the past decade, incandescent bulbs, which are the largely recognized glass orbs with glowing wire centers, have been rapidly replaced with more energy efficient alternatives in America's fight against green house gas emissions. The Trump administration's new rules will likely be met with pushback from environmental groups and consumers, and be challenged in court.
“Exacerbate” also the new head line Climate Change. What a nice ring! Energy saving lol.
CNBC better not have any of those planet killers in their creative crisis warehouses where they manufacture all this bullshit.
And ges rolling back prices too.
Too bad we can’t roll back Trump until 2020! That would be the best thing possible!
Not really. I will still buy them.
Wow. Okay. I’m sure that’s not the tipping point for global warming, I mean climate change or whatever we’re calling it this week.
You’ve lost your Effin minds
Go vegan if you are so worried about climate change or seriously shut up!!
Does Congress have a say to what trump is doing—America looks like a dictatorship?😢😢🇺🇸
Ha ..you're funny
Trump is definitely fattening his wallet before he leaves office I just wonder if Americans are intelligent enough to say enough is enough
Light bulbs in the USA will not move the climate change needle. The climate change activists should be pushing China and India to change their ways.
So, we have even less than 12 years now? 😳
He is accelerating Climate Change. He was the worst possible person to be in a position of power at the moment rolling it back might have been possible. He is pushing us all off the cliff...
Killing the planet one step at a time!
Or not
No one is going to buy that crap. They are not even sold anymore. My house has none. In the long run they are way more economical
Thank goodness! They light they emit is weak. On days when the sun goes in and out of clouds, you work in semi-darkness.
FRAUD- climate has been changing for MILLIONS of years - wit or without light bulbs
If you actually believe that lightbulbs are causing the earth to get warmer then your parents and educators have failed you miserably.
Prove it .
Bullshit. Climate change is a hoax driven by the United Nations for control and theft of wealth. TARGETED AT THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES.
NBC is moving from 2 years of made-up Russian collusion to made-up climate change. Will you ever stop with the Fake News and start reporting facts?
Gotta undo anything that Obama did what an idiot 🤡👺👹
Why?
Oh, good. I'm almost out of the incandescent bulbs I hoarded before those regulations took effect.
Maybe he owns a light bulb company and wants to make money. He does on everything else!
Thinking trump hasn’t seen LED bulbs.
Thank God. Those bulbs contain mercury. Less than what power plants produce to power an old bulb but here is the problem. We throw the new bulbs away instead properly disposing of them. They collect in landfills and contaminate water supplies. 2ndAmendment
Because let's consume as much energy and resources as possible is such a good idea.
kuku27 Who cares if it is going to help or not but will make you 'yelp' and 'wince'.It happens, it happened,so it is
Alright! I agree.
The dimmest bulb casts the biggest shadows.
Trump wants to kill America’s future & the entire planet.
Oh for goodness sake. Are y’all really running out of legitimate stories to write about?
kuku27 Wise step but why it never came to mind before
The sabotage of America continues.
We dont have those old bulbs anymore . ..
AHHHHH …. Just turn the light off you baby.
