"The Biden administration is proposing the restoration of Obama-era rules aimed at increasing efficiency of consumer lightbulbs by including more types of bulbs in regulations.
The Energy Department said Tuesday it is proposing a return to the Obama administration's definitions that includes cone, globe and candle-shaped bulbs in certain regulations after the Trump administration exempted them.
The proposal indicates a possible two-step process to incorporate the additional bulbs in the rule and then increase regulations on all of the bulbs — including common pear-shaped bulbs. The stricter rules are expected to push the market toward LEDs."
