GREAT NEWS: Trump Energy Department Rolling Back Biden Admin’s Regulations on Home Appliances
Over the last four years, the Biden administration repeatedly tried to control what kinds of home appliances Americans would be allowed to buy.
They tried to outright ban gas stoves, then denied it and mocked anyone who suggested this was happening.
The the Biden administration was caught working with outside groups to do this.
Now, all of that is finally changing. Check out this tweet from the Trump Energy Department:
Here @ENERGY, we are ensuring that American families prosper. We're doing this by removing regulations imposed by the last admin & returning freedom of choice back to the American taxpayer. We want YOU to choose the appliances that work best for you, not the federal government.
— U.S. Department of Energy (@ENERGY) March 25, 2025
From the Energy Department website:
U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright today announced the Department of Energy (DOE) has further postponed the implementation of three of the Biden-Harris administration’s restrictive mandates on home appliances. These actions, taken in accordance with President Donald Trump’s Executive Order, “Unleashing Prosperity through Deregulation,” marks a key step in lowering costs, enhancing performance, and expanding options for American consumers.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Energy is taking critical steps every day to help American families prosper,” said Secretary Wright. “By removing burdensome regulations put in place by the Biden administration, we are returning freedom of choice to the American people, ensuring consumers can choose the home appliances that work best for their lives and budgets. This power should not belong to the federal government.”
Here’s how the liberal outlet Politico framed the story:
The Department of Energy is revving up its war on efficient appliances, aiming to unravel a program at the center of former President Joe Biden’s climate agenda.
The department announced Monday it is withdrawing four efficiency standards from the last administration, including a major rule for electric motors that had already been finished, as I wrote this morning. It also is punting the “effective dates” for final standards for walk-in freezers and gas-fired water heaters.
In doing so, Energy Secretary Chris Wright signaled that the efficiency program — which Congress authorized 50 years ago — faces a significant overhaul. The power to choose appliances “should not belong to the federal government,” he said in a statement.
The “war on efficient appliances.” How absurd. Progressive elitists just don’t think the American people are smart enough to make choices for themselves. They have to be forced to do the right thing by the Nanny State.
