No, only after the people demanded it.
One of the benefits of a representative government with a regulatory framework Good point!

Of course, environmentalists do not live by this creed. Stop it!!
"97% of climate experts agree humans are causing global warming."
If you had a heart problem, would you go with the 97% of experts that said you needed an operation, or the 3% who said it was no problem, you'll be just fine?
If everyone used as little energy as I do, we would not have a CO2 problem.
Depends -- how many of the 97% are getting big money to say it. I had two doctors in an emergency room tell me I had an acute appendicitis... I didn't have a temperature, I wasn't puking, my white blood cell count wasn't elevated but they wanted to operate anyway. I walked out of the hospital with my appendix and that was in 1993... I still have it today. So 100% of the doctors told me I needed an operation.... :lamo

Only where they are not causing a problem for health and the environment.
Sure. Sure. Sure. And your proof of this is what?
Especially if you ignore the Constitution. Good point!
what would you call a liberal republican or a conservative democrat?
So you admit your statement was incorrect. Thanks.
The passive solar house I built in 1984 that has used 60% less energy than average for each year since, I use no air-conditioning, I walk to work, and for occasional long distance travel I have used a car that gets at least 50 mpg since 2001, I organically grow most of my own food, and I use high efficiency stove, refrigeratory, hot water heater, dryer, and lightbulbs.
Soon I will have my new solar panels hooked up which will produce 1.5 kw of power and they will pay for themselves in 7 years.
How does that compare with how energy efficient you are???
Show me when the SC found the new lightbulb standards to not be constitutional? You do know who the rule of law in this country charges with Constitutional interpretation, correct?
Sorry, but your word is not proof. Try again.
All three branches are to follow the Constitution. I have checked Article I, section 8 and I find no clause of authority to set standards for lightbulbs.

Maybe you could provide us with a source where anything even similar was proposed by one of the authors of the Constitution, where it is mentioned in the Federalist Papers, or in one of the ratifying conventions. The opposite can be found over and over again.
Not at all. Let me guess, you don't believe in regulations to protect public health and the environment?
I could care less whether you believe me or not.
So it is you, and not the Supreme Court, the Constitution specifies is responsible for Constitutional interpretation. That's good to know. Thanks for straightening us all out on that. LOL!
Wiki is a piece of garbage and is often incorrect. When the Constitution was explained to the members of the ratifying conventions, what did they say about the Necessary and Proper Clause?
