Cue right-wing screaming


Tucker's going to have a cow.

Down with woke Build-A-Bear!

And, they're taking away your light bulbs!
Starting in August, Americans will only be able to purchase LED lights from retailers across the nation as an official ban on incandescent lightbulbs will be in full effect.

Incandescent lightbulbs have been providing light in American homes since the 1800s, when Thomas Edison patented the bulbs. But now, the nation has evolved into a more energy-efficient society and LED lights have become the new norm.

[...]

The Department of Energy said LED lights provide more light using 75% less energy than incandescent lights. LEDs also last about 25 times longer.

[...]

The DOE claims that discontinuing inefficient incandescent lights will save Americans nearly $3 billion yearly and substantially reduce carbon dioxide emissions over 30 years. Swapping out the bulbs is projected to cut planet-warming carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next 30 years, an amount equivalent to emissions generated by 28 million homes in one year.

[...]

The Trump administration had slowed an earlier phaseout of incandescents, saying it was targeting rules that burden businesses.

Down with woke light bulbs!

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
