How hard is it to screw in a decent lightbulb policy for the United States of America in 2019? Depends on who’s in the White House trying to needlessly increase our energy consumption. Fortunately, our President is up to the task and just announced that he’s reversing a policy to phase out incandescent bulbs (the kind Thomas Edison invented over 100 years ago). Unfortunately for the environment, the policy was referred to as the “Obama-era” rule. It had to go.
