The bush boy does the right thing and enacts a law to phase in energy efficient light bulbs.
The republicans have fits about it in the Obama years.
Now trump is rolling back those bush boy energy rules for light bulbs.
He can do that but the efficient ones have been out since the bush boy years. Most people now use them. Very few are going to go back to the more expensive incandescent ones.
Good luck finding those incandescent ones easily. I don't see them at the stores much anymore.
Why does trump want Americans and business to waste money and harm the environment more?
Trump administration rolls back rules requiring more energy-efficient bulbs
I read about this and had to laugh at the sheer stupidity of it. By now, most households have upgraded to LED bulbs because they are superior in pretty much every single way. Incandescents aren't staging a comeback. CFLs are even on their way to extinction. So, who the fuck is this 'roll back' going to benefit? Old people? People who hate saving money on their electric bills? Dumb.
Cult45 Administration = dumb as dirt.
The purchase price of incandescent bulbs is lower, even though longer life and lower cost of operation makes the new style much cheaper in the long run. Just another example of how everything seems to be rigged to cost the poor more to survive than the well off.
It may seem that way because of price point, but it's really not.
Incandescent bulb energy cost over 20 years: $211
CFL bulb energy cost over 20 years: $54
LED bulb energy cost over 20 years: $34
LEDs use 75% less energy. This seems like a no-brainer, no matter what economic class you belong to.

Trump orders return of 8 Track Tapes
Have to credit our President for bringing back the beloved incandescent bulb
Maybe Trump can order Trump Properties to use incandescents exclusively.......That would show those Liberals
But that’s scary as the choice may not be what liberals dictate.It is about giving Americans a choice.

There a conspiracy theory that all incandescent bulbs could have that type of life expectancy but the manufacturers soon realize there no money to be made that way.I have heard that that long lived light bulb is due to its 'filament' being thick and heavy duty Bear .
WHOOOSSSHHHHH.......You have given up using air conditioning, then? Good for you!Government has no business telling you what kind of light bulb to use, dumbass fascists.
When they have to make sure the energy grid can support the population, they most certain do have a business telling people to cut energy use.
There used to be “rolling brown outs” in summer because energy use increases during air conditioning season. Low energy lightbulbs have eliminated those brown outs.
If the USA were to return to using high energy incandescent bulbs, you’d need dozens more electric plants to cover the increase in electricity use.
Why would someone give up AC just because they changed to energy efficient lightbulbs?
Yeah, you right down the crapper.WHOOOSSSHHHHH.......You have given up using air conditioning, then? Good for you!Government has no business telling you what kind of light bulb to use, dumbass fascists.

Only an idiot would give up A/C with the temperatures rising every year. It's enough that the lower wattage light bulbs give off much less heat than incandescent bulbs and thereby reduce the amount of power it takes to cool a room. If everyone in the nation were to return to using incandescent bulbs, the USA would need something like 25 more power plants to accommodate the increased power useage.
Conservatives are always ready to cry "freedom" when there's buck to be made by using the most inefficient choices. Liberals don't want to give up modern conveniences. They just want to have their modern life and reduce the impact on the environment. A country clever enough to put a man on the moon should be able to do that, but there will be economic casualties in the move to the 21st Century economy. Just as blacksmith's disappeared and local livery stables went out of business at the turn of the last Century, past products give way to better ones, and the old ones disappear.

--------------------------------------- MAYBE , Maybe not but i'll buy the cheaper bulbs and just change them more often . The incandescent bulbs provide better light anyway Dana ,The bush boy does the right thing and enacts a law to phase in energy efficient light bulbs.

It seems to me his goal is to force Americans to waste a lot of money and do more harm to the environment.
He will fail big time.
