China Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Incandescent light bulb ban goes into effect next week Starting next week, Americans will only be able to purchase LED lights from retailers across the nation as an official ban on incandescent lightbulbs will go into effect. Come Tuesday, while it won’t be illegal to own incandescent light bulbs, it will be illegal for stores to sell them and companies to manufacture them. The federal government’s warnings started in January and have been getting progressively more aggressive as they want to make sure Americans don’t go back in time. The government announced a ban on the manufacturing and selling of incandescent bulbs, saying it will help Americans save money and help the environment. Everyone will have to purchase LED or compact fluorescent light bulbs instead. However, some critics of the ban are calling it government overreach, saying lawmakers should let Americans make their own decisions about the light bulbs in their houses. The Department of Energy says LED lights provide more light using 75% less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent light bulbs. Plus, LED lights are estimated to save families about $100 per year. Click on the link for the full article 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Incandescent bulbs are still made in Mexico so the cartels can have a new source of revenue catering to the American right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
