Democrats Come After Light Bulbs
The light bulb is emblematic of human intelligence and ingenuity. Banning it is emblematic of Democrat rule:
The Biden administration is preparing to implement a sweeping nationwide ban on commonly used light bulbs as part of its energy efficiency and climate agenda.
The regulations, which prohibit retailers from selling incandescent light bulbs, were finalized by the Department of Energy (DOE) in April 2022 and are slated to go into effect on Aug. 1, 2023.
Good thing Thomas Edison never could have imagined that his country would deteriorate into a lunatic tyranny where light bulbs would be made illegal in the name of the weather, or he might not have bothered.
As usual, those with less money will be hardest hit by the Party of the Liberal Elite’s authoritarian green gestures:
While 54% of households with an income of more than $100,000 per year used LEDs, just 39% of households with an income of $20,000 or less used LEDs.
As a coalition of free market and consumer groups wrote in a letter to the Department of Energy last year, alleged global climate benefits of banning affordable light bulbs are “speculative, assumption-driven, and prone to bias in the hands of agencies with a regulatory agenda.” They forgot to mention delusional and absurd — like this:
According to the DOE announcement, the regulations will save consumers an estimated $3 billion per year on utility bills and cut carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next three decades.
Yeah right.
It isn’t enough for us to take cold showers. We need to take them in the dark. Then The Climate will be pleased.
