Trump Administration Moves to Revoke Biden's Appliance Efficiency Regulations

The Trump administration is postponing the implementation of Biden's efficiency standards for household appliances, including water heaters and light bulbs. The Department of Energy, led by Trump appointees, claims the changes will reduce costs for families and provide more consumer choices. Trump has directed EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin to reverse several Biden-era regulations, reinstating previous standards on water flow and incandescent bulbs. This rollback aims to ease regulations seen as burdensome by Trump, with proponents arguing it enhances affordability and freedom for consumers. Critics of the move believe it undermines environmental progress.
