WASHINGTON, July 8 (UPI) -- House Republicans say they'll try to block the government's efforts to transition the country from incandescent light bulbs to more energy-efficient options.
Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, is sponsoring the BULB (Better Use of Light Bulbs) Act, which would repeal a part of a 2007 energy law requiring traditional light bulbs to be 30 percent more energy-efficient beginning in 2012, USA Today reported Friday.
