TRUMP just gave you all your INCANDESCENT lightbulbs back. How many $ will it cost?

[Centerleftfl]

Now there was something I know I was clamoring for. Weren't you waiting with BATED breath?

So how much will they cost?

Start with the basics! How much to retool factories? How many bulbs will go into LANDFILL once we throw our current bulbs away? Afterall, its a WINGER thing, how dare BIG BROTHER tell me what to 'burn', I'm throwing mine away today! How many more BULBS will we consume in aggregate since they last 25 x less time than the new ones? How much more electricity will we consume? Since short-lived bulbs will be the norm, how many MORE will go into landfill over time?

I'm sure I've missed a whole bunch of other outcomes.

TRUMP KNOWS BETTER THAN ANY OF YOU!





Trump administration pulls plug on energy-efficient bulb rules

Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday issued a new rule reversing a requirement for all new light bulbs to be energy-efficient by 2020, a move welcomed by industry but strongly criticized by climate change groups.

The rollback represents the latest in the US president’s running battle since taking office against nearly all forms of environmental regulation, coming shortly after his administration axed rules limiting leaks of the greenhouse gas methane and after weakening a key wildlife protection law.

Incandescent light bulbs, which were invented by Thomas Edison in 1878 and lose 90 percent of their energy to heat, have been on the decline since a 2007 law that mandated phased-in energy efficiency targets they could not meet.

LED bulbs, which use 20 to 25 percent of the energy of their traditional pear-shaped counterparts and last 10-25 times longer, now have the bulk of the market share.

Repealing the standards would cost consumers $100 billion and result in half a billion extra tons of air pollution
