You can find the story here at the Left leaning, Politico.
Democrats and the White House have opposed the move to block the standards, which were included in a 2007 energy bill signed by President George W. Bush. DOE has said the standards could save consumers $6 billion a year.
My thinking? Well, Federal regulations against the incandescent light bulb are simply not needed. We have government at the State level. Remember?? California, just before it passed its pro-queer** education bill, approved a band on 100 watt incandescent light bulbs. In time, it will be legal to own incandescent bulbs in California. Who knows, maybe there will be jail time and heavy fines.
Anyway, Washington has much more important things to do than to pass legislation that can be given over to the purview of the individual states.
**As of this past week, with the passage of California's "gay" legislation forcing the public school system to teach "gay history" at all grade levels including kindergarten, I have decided to no longer express or allow for "tolerance" on this blog. as relates to the so-called "gay community." I will lose some of my libertarian readers, I know, but, hey, that is the way it goes. What most of the public does not understand is this: the California queer movement is all about (a) making descent illegal and (b) the conversion of as many as possible into this "lifestyle." I am 66 years old have been tolerant of these people all my life, up until now. Intolerance begets intolerance. Turns out that I, and millions of folks like me, have been the only tolerant ones in the house. And what is our reward? To be forced to violate our collective conscience, to be told who we will hire, to be told what we will say in our churches, synagogues and mosques, to be forced to have our children and grandchildren taught and to fund the queer community's endeavor to eradicate civil society of all those who find the Queer Nation repulsive and obscene, well, that is beyond the pale. My side of the aisle has lost the war on this issue, precisely because we were committed to tolerance. No more.
Understand that the issue is not what people do on their own time. That was never the issue. It has always been about dominance and control coming out of the queer community. From the very beginning, their goal has been for control and forced compliance to their demands.
In conclusion, I have this to say: (a) I am ashamed of my home state (California) and (b) to those of you who disagree, drop dead !! The queer community is not driven by fairness and tolerance and I will no longer play by their rules.
