US President Donald Trump has spoken out in favor of conventional light bulbs. „I like them especially because I don’t look that orange,“ said the 74-year-old yesterday in Ohio, USA, in a speech to employees of a household appliance manufacturer.
„You are all beautiful people, but you looked better with the old lightbulb than with the awful new lightbulbs,“ said Trump. „I don’t like this look,“ he said, looking at the light from energy-efficient lamps.
Some time ago, his government had received a regulation that would have largely prohibited the sale of bulbs with glow wire, which were more wasteful of energy – similar to those in the EU. Trump says energy-saving lamps are harmful to the environment.
