Americans \u200cwill no longer be able\u2063 to purchase incandescent and halogen lightbulbs, which \u2064made up around 30% of all lightbulb sales as recently \u2062as 2020.<\/p>\n<p>According to the DOE, the switch \u2063to LEDs will save American\u2062 consumer around $3\u200d billion per year on\u2062 utility bills moving forward. The\u2064 DOE also claimed\u200b that the new regulations will cut carbon emissions by an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-begins-lightbulb-ban-enforcement\/\" title=\"Biden Admin enforces lightbulb ban.\">estimated 222 million metric tons<\/a> over the \u200cnext three decades.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration argued that LEDs will \u2064save the \u2062consumers money\u200c in the long run. However, LEDs are more expensive than their\u200b incandescent counterparts. The average\u200c cost of an LED lightbulb ranges from $5 to $7, while incandescent bulbs\u2064 usually cost\u2062 around $2 each.<\/p>\n<p>According to surveys, LEDs \u200dare more popular among \u2062high income households. 54% of households in the United States that \u200bhave an income more than $100,000 \u2063per year use LEDs, only 39% of household that\u200b have an income less than $20,000 used LEDs.<\/p>\n<p>The ban is\u200c facing backlash from Republicans. Representative Andy Barr (R-Ky.) said\u2062 that President Joe Biden is using his \u2063\u201cweaponized federal agencies\u201d to push far left policies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden continues to push \u2064liberal fantasies through his weaponized federal agencies,\u201d Barr said. \u201cThe Department of Energy should be focused\u200d on\u200d American\u200c energy independence, not on what lightbulbs you can or \u2064can\u2019t purchase for your home or business.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A coalition of \u2064free market and consumer groups who are opposed \u2062to the ban wrote a letter to \u200cthe DOE in 2022, when the new regulations \u2063were first\u200b announced, saying\u200c that \u201cfurther regulatory interference in the marketplace is\u2062 unwarranted.\u201d\u2063 They added that\u200c the climate benefits that the DOE has\u200d used to back their decision\u2063 are mostly \u201cspeculative, \u200dassumption-driven, and prone to bias.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWe believe that further regulatory interference in the marketplace \u200dis unwarranted given that more energy efficient lighting choices, namely light-emitting diode bulbs, are already available for\u2063 those consumers who prefer them over \u2062incandescent bulbs,\u201d the letter\u200d read.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The ban went into effect on Tuesday. However, even though consumers will only be able\u2064 to purchase LEDs moving forward, they will be still be able \u2063to use\u2064 any kind of light bulbs that they currently own.<\/p>\n<p>Stay \u2063informed!\u200d Receive breaking\u200b news blasts \u2064directly to your inbox for free.
