U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announced his department wants to eliminate the stupid appliance mandates.
“U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright today announced the Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to permanently end home appliance and equipment mandates that raise costs and disrupt consumer choice,” according to a press release. “The proposal will update the Department’s Process Rule used to establish energy conservation standards for household appliances and equipment, including air conditioning units, gas stoves, washing and drying machines, water heaters, refrigerators, and other products Americans rely on every day.”
FOX News was the first to report the move.
“In America, you should be able to choose a dryer that dries clothes on the first try rather than one that takes multiple cycles—unfortunately, past administrations thought otherwise,” Secretary Wright said. “For too long, the American people paid the price for mandates that restricted consumer choice and drove up costs. President Trump promised to end this nonsense and that is exactly what we are doing.”
I am so tired of low-pressure shower heads. I take longer to do the dishes, even rinsing them, due to my new kitchen faucet. Don’t even get me started on toilets, especially when you’re sick.
“This proposed rule will preserve the American people’s ability to choose home appliances and equipment that actually work — at prices they can afford. It’s called common sense,” added Wright.
The lovely Leslie Eastman has written numerous articles about the war President Joe Biden and his handlers waged on our precious appliances.
Biden’s DOE wanted to change the dishwasher standard to set the maximum per-cycle water consumption (gal/cycle) at 3.3. The current standard is 5, but most dishwashers are 3.5.
Those officials also restricted the use of window air conditioning units.
They also went after our washing machines and dryers.
I lost my mind when Biden’s DOE threatened our gas stoves. I love to cook and bake. Don’t you DARE touch my gas stove.
“From day one, the Trump Administration has offered relief to consumers, businesses, and industries through bold deregulatory action,” said Assistant Secretary of Energy (EERE) Audrey Robertson. “This proposal is about the future. It will ensure that new regulations promote affordability, preserve consumer choice, and meet the highest standards for transparency and due diligence.”
The DOE linked to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. People can submit comments for 30 days after the Federal Register publishes it.
