Led by President Donald Trump, U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright today announced the Department of Energy will postpone the implementation of seven of the Biden-Harris administration’s restrictive mandates on home appliances.
are you serious? business dont give a fuck about waste. look at the plastics industry. lightbulbs were another historic example of something being made less efficient so that it made more money
The life duration of a light bulb depends on the thickness of the filament. If you make it thicker the lifetime goes up, but at the same time the brightness goes down. This means you spend more money on power for less light output. Look at this lightbulb that burns for 100 years or so in some fire station, it’s hardly brighter than a candle.
Didn’t you hear? Trump said plastics aren’t a concern because they don’t bother sharks as they’re munching through the ocean. So you can scratch that off the list of things worth mentioning. /s
Waste on THEIR end. Not talking about consumer waste. You already paid for it isn’t considered waste on their end. I’m talking about things like production inefficiencies, etc.
so because you paid for it, the items is magically transformed into something that isnt junk? is it more efficient to have parts of that junk shipped all over the world to be assembled then shipped all over again to be sold?

I think this was more about brightness of the bulbs. There are other examples of planned obsolescence. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen.
