ABOUT TIME: Sen. Mike Enzi introduces bill to repeal incandescent light bulb ban. “The Better Use of Light Bulbs Act (BULB) is intended to repeal the amendment that was attached to a comprehensive energy bill signed by President George W. Bush in 2007. The ban on incandescent light bulbs was intended to save energy and limit pollution.” I went all-in for CFLs, and I haven’t seen any visible energy savings, and they have totally failed to live up to the longevity promises. I’m replacing the — much more expensive — CFLs about as often as incandescent bulbs.
