The only people complaining about this are selfish parasitic money-fetishist capitalists who just can't fathom being told they can't waste absolutely everything and ruin life for everyone just for some marginal personal profit. Notice they could only muster one quote of someone complaining about it, from a Republican Senator. Yeah sure it's overreach to ban the most wasteful type of lightbulb, but it's not overreach to ban books? Every action the state takes is overreach, a violation of people's consent, backed by the threat of violence or imprisonment for those who resist. I think if everyone's going to keep allowing the state and the ruling class to exist, they should just shut up when the state does something actually good for once. The fundamental function of a capitalist is to waste for personal profit at everyone else's expense. The capitalist will still have electricity when the grid collapses; they bought generators and solar panels with all the profit their workers produced. There is a downside to this, but nobody's complaining about the real downside. Everyone's complaining about the overreach department doing overreach, but the real problem is that we now have a bigger market for something produced primarily by cheap/slave labor.
