Trump admin. dims Obama-era lightbulb energy regulations.

The Trump administration is rolling back requirements for energy-efficient lightbulbs, dimming an environmentally friendly policy that was put in place by the two previous presidents.the Energy Department will repeal a regulation enacted under President Barack Obama, set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2020, requiring an expanded number of lightbulbs in the U.S. to be in compliance with stricter energy efficiency standards.

The regulation that's being eliminated would have redefined four categories of incandescent and halogen bulbs so that they would be subject to existing energy efficiency rules from which they were previously exempt. It would have applied to about half of the 6 billion lightbulbs used in the U.S., experts have said.new energy efficiency standards for all pear-shaped lightbulbs that were also scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

Everything he touches just goes up in flames god 2020 can’t come fast enough

NRDC Dim. Bulb. Dim bulb. It’s a joke, son! Don’t let ‘em get bayou like that.

Gotta keep those clickbait headline narratives going

NRDC Trump isn't exactly the brightest bulb himself

The grudge he holds for a man that will always be more liked, a better person, and a better president all at our expense is just so pathetic. He's a real life mean girl only a 72 year old child.

Pure ignorance and defiance from this entire mess in this administration. These fools know nothing of saving anything, just to spend spend spend and corrupt laws and common sense measures. Idiocy.

The incoming democratic president is going to spend his/her first week just issuing executive orders to reverse every damn thing this madman has done.

45's sole intent is to eliminate Obama's name from everything. His base will repeat 'Anything Obama is BAD'. I'll stick w/LEDs b/c I like saving $$$ and the planet. For those who don't want to save $$ on their utility bills proves that you can't fix stupid.

Ironically, Liberty’s torch now shines brighter. 🗽

Trump will probably burn out before any of the bulbs in my house.

What is realDonaldTrump with efficiency? Is it really that nice to be wasteful for wastefulness' sake?

Trump is a dimwit

Not sure why you chose CFL globes for the file photo. Those aren't considered a safe alternative anymore. We use LED globes now.

I'll stick with my LEDs thanks. I like to save money.
