Description
Today, after a decade-long fight, the Energy Department has begun to
enforce rules meant to accelerate the phaseout of incandescent light
bulbs. POLITICO’s Kelsey Tamborrino breaks down the new regulations,
Washington’s political and culture war over light bulbs, and how the
larger fight over energy efficiency standards is still looming. Plus,
the first new U.S. nuclear reactor to be built from scratch in decades
started sending electricity reliably to the grid on Monday.
