I worry that some state like CA are already more intrusive and restrictive than the EPA. Not only should we eliminate the EPA, but the Congress or SCOTUS needs to protect the citizens of states from their local government tyranny.

It is the CA state government that say I can’t burn wood to heat my home and that carmakers can’t sell vehicles in the state unless a certain percentage of them are electric and that I must pay more for electricity than anywhere else because a certain percentage of it has to come from high priced solar and wind sources.

We should have a solution other than “move somewhere else”. I was here first, darn it !

We stocked up as much as we could find, and have gotten some through a friend in Canada, but my husband as scotopic sensitivity and we cannot use LED or Florescent bulbs at all and have 2 houses so a repeal would be key for us.

Calif Air Resources Board will just cool their heels until a Democrat comes back into power. Love the fact he’s being aggressive on EPA but Calif is as powerful as some countries. There has to be a law banning government reglation of industry.

I hope that after downsizing the EPA, he kills off Common Core.

I cursed W for the bulb ban (DHS, et al). However, LED bulbs get way less hot.

And in SFL that matters a LOT.

Me too. Unfortunately, my life seems to be zooming ahead faster than my light bulb cache is being consumed. I may have to bequeath them in my will.

.
When LEDs fail they can be a fire hazard.

We’ve had two close calls with them. They arc internally, and you can only tell from the odor that it is happening.

It is TIME to DownSize DC! Close entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments, including their SWAT Teams. (have been saying this for years)

That's not the point.

The govmint has no business telling us what kind of light bulbs we can get.

Dissolving the EPA and the Department of Education and handing it back to the states and local government is a step in the right direction. Be interesting to see how far and fast Trump goes on these areas.
