Consummate professionals or 7-year-old kids?

Government says: We want to save you money and help calm the earth. The DOE finalized regulations prohibiting certain light bulbs over their low energy efficiency levels. According to the DOE announcement, the regulations are projected to save consumers an estimated $3 billion per year on utility bills and cut carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next three decades.

GOP says: Can't tell us what to do.

@Rickinnc Incandescent bulbs which, while they work, are an older, less efficient model of lightbulbs. Incidentally, the reason Trump has launched a personal campaign against the newer bulbs (and then other technologies) was personal. In 2019 He remarked that the newer LED bulbs are often more expensive, not good and make him "look orange."
