Do people still use incandescent bulbs in America?
- rconti 11mo agoLooks like they were only (generally) outlawed for sale in 2023. Though some states were ahead of that. They last a long time, though, and I imagine a lot of people are still using their existing bulbs. I can't imagine doing that in CA, where our electricity is expensive, but if you're paying 6c/kWh, I suppose, may as well?
- brcmthrowaway 11mo agoI hope so. Some lampshades call for a point source which LEDs struggle to replicate.
- IshKebab 11mo agoWow imagine caring so little about the environment...
- whitehexagon 11mo agoA generation of under investment in energy production will create all kinds of government backed environmental propaganda. Incandescent bulbs = bad. Fossil fueled AI data centers = economy. If there was a true environmental motivation for reducing our electricity usage, our bills wouldn't be 60% network charges, they would be 100% usage based charges.
- IshKebab 11mo agoWait are you saying that you think incandescent bulbs aren't bad? Wtf?
