"Biden Rule Proposes Phasing Out Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs"

"Compact fluorescent light bulbs would effectively be phased out under a new Biden administration proposal designed to further the transition to more energy-efficient options.

Light bulb efficiency standards would be more than doubled to over 120 lumens per watt from 45 lumens per watt for the most commonly-used light bulbs, under the US Department of Energy proposal, which the agency estimated would save consumers $20 billion in energy costs over a 30-year period.

Earlier this year, the department finalized a phaseout of incandescent light bulbs, an effort that stems from energy legislation that passed in 2007 and was signed into law by President George W. Bush."
