Gas stoves, water heaters and now lightbulb. Comrade Joe Biden and his gang of Marxist dictators are now coming for your light bulbs. If you buy the wrong type, not allowed by the dictator, you will fined. Yes, seriously.
The Department of Energy (DOE) is prepared to start imposing fines on American companies buying and selling most incandescent light bulbs, according to E&E News.
After years of political and regulatory fighting over the status of incandescent light bulbs, the DOE is set to enforce light bulb regulations which will cement the market dominance of LED light bulbs, according to E&E News. The DOE can impose fines on companies involved in buying and selling incandescent bulbs, which were used in about 50% of U.S. homes as of 2020, according to the report.
The agency is permitted to impose a $542 fine upon manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers per each violation, according to E&E News. The penalties could rise as high as millions of dollars for large orders of the incandescent bulbs, according to E&E News.
