Summary
The Trump administration is postponing the implementation of Biden's efficiency standards for household appliances, including water heaters and light bulbs.

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.
