    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Get ready to say goodbye to the once ubiquitous incandescent light bulb, pioneered by Thomas Edison more than a century ago.

    The rules establish strict new efficiency standards for bulbs used in homes and businesses and bans the manufacture and sale of those that don’t meet those requirements.

    But those requirements carry a bit less heft than they would have several years back, largely because advances in LED technology and manufacturing have dramatically lowered prices and improved quality.

    Between 2015 and 2020, for instance, the percentage of American households that reported using LED bulbs for most or all of their lighting jumped more than tenfold — from 4% to 47%, according to the Energy Information Administration, an independent federal statistics agency.

    As the rules reinforce existing market changes, the Energy Department believes that U.S. consumers can save almost $3 billion annually on their utility bills.

      HOLY FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER! This is the first time I’ve seen the autotldr bot on Lemmy!

      Is there a way we can trigger this manually?

        Saw it for the first time today as well…I don’t know if we can trigger it…keep in mind that there are upcoming discussions, between mods, admins and users, as to how we are going to deal with bot accounts on Beehaw.

        Sadly, not yet, that’s planned for when I have more time. Currently when it sees a site that it knows how to extract the content from, it provides a summary. Meaning it only works on communities it knows it exists.
