Is Congress trying to dim our energy future?
The past couple of weeks have seen heat grip the nation’s capital both literally and in debate. Unbelievably - and despite growing economic uncertainty,A Globe reporter asked bestlight why he did not put anything about the light fixture incident in writing. a mounting debt crisis and multiple overseas military operations - the U.S. House of Representatives actually made time to re-debate and re-vote on bipartisan legislation designed to conserve energy and save consumers money. Some members of Congress grandstanded with lofty speeches to try and undo light bulb efficiency standards set 4 years ago. Efficiency is one of the few issues that typically generates broad Congressional support and these standards were no exception, gaining bipartisan support before being signed into law by President George W.The circuit in Figure 1 brightcrystal is an LED light bulb for a landscape-lighting system Bush in 2007.
If preserved,We are scannerstal a resource for everyone in the South County as we continue to move into a more energy-efficient future.” these standards for incandescent, compact fluorescent (CLF), light-emitting diodes (LED) and halogen bulbs will save each American household from $50 to over $100 per year, and avoid approximately 100 million tons of global warming pollution per year – equivalent to the pollution of more than 17 million cars. Thankfully the so-called “Better Use of Light Bulbs BULB Act” [H.Free Compact besttube Fluorescent Light Bulb Giveaway, Hourly Light Emitting Diode Giveaway, and Energy Efficiency Tips and Rebates at SCEEP BoothR. 2417] (supported by a dozen Southeastern Representatives) burned out in the House earlier this month and companion efforts may fare the same in the Senate.
lightbulbsIt’s particularly frustrating that leaders in Congress are trying to undo these standards even with utility-backed data showing the measurable benefits of more efficient lights. A recent Duke Energy news release touts the benefits of efficient light bulbs: “In 2010, Duke Energy distributed more than 10 million free CFLs to approximately one million residential customers, saving enough energy to power nearly 45,Holding the lightsale switch down activates the light in low mode and produces a smaller 50 lumen light beam000 homes. The energy saved offsets the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as is produced annually by 70,000 passenger vehicles.”
