Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 Lighting Mandate Analysis
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerWhen the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 was signed into law, the United States federal government was set to phase out energy inefficient technologies in order to pursue more energy independence and reduce carbon emissions. One of the provisions of this law will have a very real impact on American consumers. This provision will effectively phase out all incandescent light bulbs from the consumer market by 2014. This form of regulation set off a firestorm of activism that led to showdowns in Washington D.C. This report analyzes the effects of this provision on society, the environment, and economics in-depth and presents the reader with a clear understanding of the breadth and depth of change this law would bring to the everyday lives of ordinary Americans.
