Biden Admin bans purchase of certain light bulbs starting today.

Thanks⁢ to Biden Admin, Starting Today ​You’ll No ​Longer Be Allowed to Buy These Types of‍ Light Bulbs

Setting the right ambiance for ⁣romance ​on your next date ⁣night might be a little harder now. With the ban on incandescent lightbulbs by the Biden administration, you’ll have to choose between stocking ​up on candles or enduring the harsh glow of barely dimmable LEDs that leave ⁣no room‍ for imperfections.

The Biden administration’s ambitious ⁣energy efficiency initiative has led to a nationwide ‍ban on the sale​ of specific ⁣widely-used⁤ light bulbs, as reported by Fox News. The ​Department of Energy (DOE) regulations will disallow the sale of incandescent and similar halogen light bulbs, which currently dominate the market.

To comply with ⁣the new rules, manufacturers and‍ retailers will be required to sell light-emitting diode (LED) alternatives, with potential severe​ federal penalties for non-compliance. However, Republicans argue that ⁤the ban goes too⁤ far.

It’s impossible for Democrats to leave us alone.

Republican Rep. Andy Barr of Kentucky expressed his ⁢dissatisfaction, stating, “President Biden ⁤continues ‌to⁢ push⁣ liberal fantasies through his weaponized federal agencies. The Department of​ Energy should be focused on American energy independence,⁢ not on what lightbulbs you ⁣can or can’t purchase for your home or business.”

In late 2019, former President Donald Trump halted ⁣the planned phaseout of incandescent bulbs, ​stating‌ that “what’s ‍saved is ⁣not worth it.” However, the DOE reversed the ruling in April 2022. Environmental groups are applauding the ban, considering it long overdue.

According to Fox News,⁢ the latest findings from the‌ Residential Energy⁤ Consumption Survey reveal that fewer ‌than ⁢half ‌of households primarily or exclusively rely on LEDs. The survey data also showed that LEDs are ⁤more popular in higher-income households, indicating ‍that these energy‌ regulations could disproportionately affect ⁣lower-income Americans.

Moreover, some lightbulb users claim that​ LED lighting‌ is too harsh ‍and can exacerbate migraines.

I want to ​sue‌ the Biden administration⁤ over the incandescent light bulb ⁣ban. Non-incandescent‌ lighting causes me to have severe ‌stroke-like migraines.⁤ I believe this ban‍ violates the Americans With Disabilities Act

Any‌ good attorneys who ‍would‌ like to do this with me?

Despite the backlash, the DOE ‌claims that these regulations will benefit‍ consumers and the environment, projecting an ⁤estimated billion annual savings on‍ utility bills. However, ‌it seems ⁣that these “money-saving” changes forced by the left always end ​up costing us more.

From water⁣ heaters to gas stoves to light bulbs, it appears that only the ⁢rich ⁢will survive “climate change.” But don’t expect choices‌ when the world is supposedly ending. According‌ to the left, choices are only acceptable when it comes to sexual preferences, abortion, and gender. In ⁣everything​ else, the government knows what’s best for you and‍ your household.

After all, ⁢this is⁢ a free country.
