That’s Right, The Washington Times, EPA Equipment Regulations ‘Significantly Less Efficient’ – Watts Up With That?
Editor’s Note: The Washington Times published a story detailing the “explosion of energy rules” promoted by the Biden administration “aimed at turning the whole house green.” As the story explains, the manufacturers warn the rules will reduce the performance of these devices, such as making clothes and dishes dirtier. The Washington Times Analyze the impact of the rules to be precise. Consumer choices and features will be cut down significantly, to keep costs to a minimum, if any. Climate realism Excerpt from the story below.
according to Washington Times story, “Biden seeks to turn the whole house green; Device manufacturers warn of lower performance:”
The Biden administration is looking to regulate in the name of climate change not just your gas stove – it’s coming to your entire home.
President Biden’s green energy goals have led to a series of new efficiency rules for a range of home appliances, including microwaves and toothbrush chargers. The effort is forcing manufacturers to produce more expensive products that they say reverse decades of innovation and potentially eliminate thousands of jobs in the United States.
The Washington Times note, the new Biden administration regulations will require manufacturers to fundamentally redesign devices to follow the rules, and any cost savings will be minimal. The Washington Times write:
combine, lots of rules that will save an average family $100 annually by reducing energy bills. (my emphasis)
Industry leaders say the rules come with high upfront costs for consumers and a negative impact on performance.
Jill Notini, a spokesman for the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, said that rather than innovating the features consumers seek, increased regulations on home appliances are forcing manufacturers to must step back.
“They’re really going to have to redesign products to look more like the 1950s than they did in 2020.
…
One industry executive described the series of regulations as “an avalanche” and “unprecedented” in terms of severity and scope.
…
Energy savings for individual consumers would be small. New washing machine regulations will save $8 less per year [while removing 98 percent of existing top loading machines from the market]and clothes dryer efficiency standards would save $36 per year, according to the Department of Energy.
To understand the full scope and scope of the Biden administration’s regulatory restrictions on devices and how they will affect the lives of ordinary people, one should read the full story linked. link above.
