The Trump administration is attempting to wipe decades of efficiency standards off the books.
The US Energy Department says it’s rolling back long-standing efficiency standards for appliances, which advocates are calling a clear violation of the law. Continuing the Trump administration’s assault on federal water and energy efficiency programs, the department announced today what it’s calling its “largest deregulatory effort in history.”
The agency is trying to rollback 47 regulations it says are “burdensome and costly,” including more than a dozen efficiency standards for appliances and battery chargers.
The proposed rules target the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), which contains an anti-backsliding provision — and that the Trump administration is seemingly trying to bypass.
It won’t. When the US sneezes, Europe catches a cold.
Some European countries are FINALLY starting to divest from dependence on the US, but way too late to avoid major consequences of what the fascist kakistocracy is doing.
Best way to deal with so called “free market” morons is to make it obvious with my wallet.
Only thing left is to convince wife for some of the foods we get. Pretty sure some brands are US owned. We don’t buy anything food thats produced in US anyway even before now. But will be taking a closer look at owning brands now.
