Last year Congress approved a mandate to replace traditional incandescent light bulbs with more energy efficient ones. 6 months to go until that green law goes into effect- but now Republicans are stepping back to reconsider. The Atlantic Wire explains. “A bill to overturn [the law] is due to hit the floor of the House of Representatives sometime next week.

euronews innovation – Shine a light! Indoor solar cells!
